This is a photo of a painting which has just sold at Burstow and Hewett Auction House in the UK. The pre sale estimate was for £150 to £200 and it sold for £140 which is around $217 US dollars based on $1.55 equals £1.00.
It was framed and signed and depicts a street scene with two people sitting outside of a shop drinking a glass of tea. hence the name 'Chai Wallah'. It has also been found in Paul Raj's record books, which indicate that it was for a client living in New Delhi in 1975. I thought is was quite a nice painting in good condition but sold at a fairly moderate price.
