An interesting collection of natural history drawings representing nearly all the sources of attraction i.e. plants, insects, and still lifes with fish and birds; several studies of the Banana tree including a fine Company School Painting of the Banana Tree Flower. A number of sheets are clearly unfinished and reveal the different stages of the making a Company School Painting – a process also noticeable in several of the drawings depicting Mughal Architecture and in several of the large picturesque views.
