仍属馆藏,只是目前没有展出。
The pictures made by Indian artists for the British in India are called Company paintings. This one comes from a volume containing 30 folios depicting castes, occupations, methods of cultivation and processional scenes. It shows a nautch party (from Hindi 'nach', dance), with a dancer-girl followed by six male musicians and three other members of the party. The men are playing hand-cymbals, a European violin, a flute, a mridanga (drum) and a bagpipe.
