Romain Pingannaud, Head of Department, commented : “The Arts of India sale offered a large number of works of art fresh to the market with notable provenances, resulting in high demand. This was underlined by twelve works on paper from the late Anthony Hobson collection, which sold 100% and far above their pre-sale estimates. Paintings and works on paper from the most renowned Indian schools, such as the Mughal, the Company and Pahari schools were internationally sought after. We are very much looking forward to our Islamic Art Week in October.”
