A Perfumer's Shop, Bombay - Art Prints
375 Rs
Edwin Lord Weeks is one of the most celebrated of the American Orientalists. Most of his paintings render empathy and belonging than a patronising or condescending portrayal.
Weeks who travelled and painted in Mathura, Benaras, Agra, Delhi, Amritsar and Bombay shows a mastery of artistic detail: most of his paintings bring together an amalgam of society, replete with men, women, animals, structures and dust; the royalty is incidental. A busy marketplace or a solitary mosque.
Original Weeks' paintings today command prices in excess of a million dollars at auctions. View Artist Collection

The seated figure to the left is an Afghan identified by Weeks in what he termed an 'immense red turban'.
