<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 1592441, member: 56"]The perspective is European, but I doubt the same can be said for the artist, and it is not what I would expect from a local artist in the 18th or 19th C. If a European were doing the painting, I would expect Europeans to be depicted. If an Indian artist had been practiced in European perspective, they would have equally studied the other aspects of European art. The rendering here is quite naive. It's fairly common to find recent tourist art of this type on old paper and I suspect that is what you have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
