Portrait Of A Lady
From ₹1,200.00
Description
The young lady, clearly of some significant social standing given the sumptuousness of her dress, has as yet been unidentified. She has long been associated with the status of a bibi – the mistress of a British Company official – but certainly represents a high-born woman of noble birth.
Devis arrived in India in 1785, when in his early twenties, having survived the shipwreck of the East India packet boat Antelope, on which he had been commissioned by the Company as official draftsman during a voyage through the South Pacific.
In Calcutta, Davis, established himself as one of the leading European painters in India, painting portraits of a number of the most eminent figures among the British community, including Warren Hastings, the Governor-General. Devis would also paint Hasting’s successor, Lord Cornwallis, and despite the presence of several distinguished rivals in Bengal at the time, including Johan Zoffany, Thomas Hickey and Francesco Renaldi, he maintained a prominent position at the forefront of fashionable patronage.
