Beautiful British India Era Oil Painting 1935
This is a beautiful oil painting from the British India era of 1887. It depicts a swirly type of painting, a cottage nestled in a wooded area with steps leading down. The artwork was probably done by a Britisher in the military or the civil service. There were many Europeans employed in the military and civil services in India, not counting the Europeans in private firms.
Many were talented amateur artists, this painting was perhaps done by one of them. Although it is signed, the name is not clearly discernible. But on an after thought the artist could also have been a talented Indian. Nevertheless, this swirly artwork is truly beautiful, it looks more surreal piece of art. During colonial times painting was perhaps one of the better past times for both Britishers and Indians.
