Misschien dat de eerste foto een beetje als een vlag op een modderschuit
werkt maar het aantal boeken op de tentoonstelling was beperkt.
Als er dan een boek is, al was het niet echt om te lezen,
dan krijgt het toch een plaats in een bericht.

Unknown artist, Meeting of Ranjit Singh and Jaswant Rao Holkar, Punjab plains, about 1805 – 1806, gouache heightened with gold on paper. De meeste ‘scholen’ in de Indiase kunst zijn streekgebonden: Delhi, Awadh enz. De ‘Company school’ heeft betrekking op werken en kunstenaars die in opdracht van medewerkers van de East India Company gemaakt zijn/werkten. Die werken voldeden dus meer aan de Westerse ‘smaak’.
