About this object
Towards the end of 1929 Lionel and Jean Lindsay travelled to India. In Lindsay's watercolours of India he painted the dry landscape and jewel-like tones of Mogul India. Many of the palaces alongside the sacred Ganges River, creating as they did, a back drop for the drama of life in minutae on the river bank, capture the splendid power of old India.
