Indian Paintings and Drawings

This catalogue contains paintings and drawings in the collection of Rasaja Foundation, New Delhi which was established in 1984 by the late Jaya Appasamy a noted artist and art critic.  The Foundation is a cultural charitable society devoted to the promotion of Indian art and culture.  The works of art acquired by Jaya who was very fond of collecting artifacts especially of the company period, grew into a sizeable number.  This collection was subsequently bequeathed by her to the Rasaja Foundation together with the her house in New Delhi.  Paintings and drawings illustrated here are executed on paper, in traditional Indian styles.  However some works are executed in the western water colour technique, popularly known as company style.
