12 FINE ORIGINAL GOUACHE DRAWINGS OF FLOWERS NATIVE TO INDIA
ca. 1840-1860. COMPANY SCHOOL. 12 FINE ORIGINAL GOUACHE DRAWINGS OF FLOWERS NATIVE TO INDIA. ca 1840-1860. 12 sheets of transparent mica ca 6 x 4 inches corner mounted into separate sheets of a small drawing book 8 x 6 inches each delicately and exquisitely painted with a flower some minor chipping to body-colour one or two creases to corners. Provenance: with a contemporary ink shelfmark on the front cover: "No 8 R. 3 1/4"; with Bonhams London 1st December 2009 lot 573. Including superb miniatures of a convolvulus a butterfly pea jasmine hibiscus fire-cracker plant cardinal creeper carnation and other exotic plants native to India. All painted in opaque colour on slivers of transparent mineral known at the time as 'talc' but in fact sheets of mica a mineral that splits easily into thin yet very tough and flexible flakes as transparent as glass. These anonymous watercolors belong to the larger tradition of Company painting or works made by Indian artists for English patrons usually employees of the East India Company hence the name of the school. The forests of India were among some of the richest resources of the British colonies and while the history of collecting and scientific study of natural specimens throughout India in the days of the British Empire and the East India Company can be attributed to British colonialism and the growth of scientific curiosity and the Age of Enlightenment in Britain the converse is also true. India with its diverse landscapes fauna and flora and Britain's other colonies in exotic and tropical places helped to create an increased interest in the study of natural history and scientific collecting in Britain and throughout the old world. The East India Company was very quick to respond to this increased interest in natural curiosities and set up the first museum in India. The magnificent Indian collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London has its origins in the India Museum founded by the East India Company in 1798. When this collection was dispersed in 1879 much of the collection especially the textiles and decorative arts went to the South Kensington Museum. The Indian Civil Services brought many British naturalists to India: some were sponsored by British and other European naturalists and museums but many others worked entirely on their own; both were assisted by professional botanists such as Joseph Dalton Hooker 1817-1911 John Gerard Koenig 1728-1785 Nathaniel Wallich 1786-1854 and William Roxburgh 1751-1815. Catalogued by Kate Hunter. [ca. 1840-1860]. unknown

Toormoottee or Little Falcon. Study of a Red-headed Falcon.
India c.1785 . Gouache and watercolour heightened with gum-arabic within and overlapping a ruled border on late 18th century laid paper inscribed in pencil Toormoottee or Little Falcon both in lower left corner and on verso mounted at corners onto a sheet of contemporary Whatman laid paper this support sheet slightly browned otherwise fine framed and glazed. A classic example of a Company School natural history study of Indian flora and fauna created to meet the increasing demand generated by the expansion of the British East India Company in India. This brought in its wake a huge increase in the British population of military and administrative staff their wives and families with a resultant rise in demand for scientific as well as aesthetically pleasing representations of the exotic new wildlife architecture people and landscapes they encountered. This demand was ably satisfied by the highly skilled but adaptable native Mughal artists who thenceforth became known as the Company School. The red-headed falcon is the Indian sub-species of the red-necked falcon falco chicquera also known as the red-headed merlin. In Punjabi it is called laal siri turmati hence the toormoottee of the contemporary 18th century inscription. This fine study beautifully displays the bird's characteristic chestnut red cap bluish grey wings distinctive broad black tail band yellow legs and eye ring and black-tipped beak. These birds were popular with Indian falconers both for hunting and for entertainment being sent to chase the colourful Indian roller which would then display its spectacularly dextrous evasive flight. In the wild these falcons would often hunt in pairs sometimes adopting the impressive technique of one bird flying low to flush out their prey which the other would then swoop upon from on high.
