Est: £4,000 - £6,000
Watercolour, over graphite, heightened with white Signed lower right 38 x 47 cm. (15 x 18 1/2 in) The present work, and the other five accompanying watercolours, are all by the English artist, and East India Company officer, Julius Middleton Boyd (1837-1919). Boyd was stationed in India during the middle of the 19th century, and the present watercolour and other five were most likely executed in the 1880s.

WD3407). In the album of sketches, there are a total of 36 drawings, illustrating landscapes and monuments from Bombay and Western India, Rajasthan and Central India. The present watercolours would appear to be larger fully worked elaborations on the sketches in the album, with each work having a direct companion, or source, in the album.
