Indian artists c. 1820

Some of the finished, and partially finished picturesque views in the Wolff collection give an interesting insight to the process involved, namely that the preparatory drawings are either traced or transferred on to the paper and then coloured by Indian artists. The high demand for these decorative views was bound to have encouraged some kind of serial production but to our knowledge it seems to be an overlooked aspect in the traditional literature.
