拍品專文
Bu 'Ali Qalandar (1400-1463 AD) was a mystic saint who lived and taught in India. His mausoleum in Panipat, India is now a place of pilgrimage.The following lot comes from a Private Greek Collector. The present owner inherited it in 1965 from his uncle, Mr. Kleon Kittas. Kittas spent much of the early part of the 20th century in India. He was reported to have been an advisor on western art to several royal collectors there and to have received the manuscripts from a royal patron as a token of thanks for his crucial services.

MUGHAL INDIA, MID-18TH CENTURYTHE SUFI SAINT BU 'ALI QALANDAR LISTENING TO MUSIC估價: GBP 700 - 1,000
As visible on the catalogue image the painting is damaged along its right and top borders. There are losses of pigments behind the seated figure of the saint. The two musicians are damaged with heavy losses of pigments. This was probably caused by damp. The condition is stable however. Some of the details of the trees and the face of the seated saint are very fine. The reverse as an old inscription in Persian identifying the scene. The painting would benefit from professional mounting.
