Jamini Roy (Indian 1887-1972) Horse Signed, and further inscribed Jamini Roy Calcutta 1940 on the backing board in Maurice Draper's hand Mixed media on board 39.4 x 25.6cm Provenance: Given by the artist to Maurice Draper (1907-2012), Calcutta, 1940 (by repute in exchange for one of his paintings); by descent to the present owner Maurice Draper lived and worked in India from 1930-1945. Employed as an art teacher at La Martiniere school in Calcutta he travelled widely, making sketches and watercolours of the country. A contemporary review of an exhibition of Draper's work mentions the influence of Jamini Roy and it seems the two artists met and exchanged works in 1940. Following spells in Lucknow and Darjeeling, Draper and his family returned to the UK in 1945.
