拍品专文

The aquatints belong to a stunning and eloquent visual record of the pioneering journey made by James Baillie Fraser, the eldest son of a Scottish family who travelled to India and studied painting under the tutelage of George Chinnery. Alongside his brother William, a political agent during the Nepal war in 1815, Fraser journeyed through India and the Himalayan mountains, exploring cities as well as river valleys. The expedition reached as far as the sources of both the Jumna and the Ganges. Having spent significant time in Calcutta, Fraser captured the city landscape on paper, juxtaposing the neatness of urban planning with the chaos of the streets, paralleling labourers, animals and architecture in one frame.
His aquatint of the Himala Mountains was sold at Christie’s London on 30 July 2020, lot 81, for £18,750.
