G D Paulraj - Women dancing around young girl

I have seen this painting for sale on the web for a number of years, the first time it was framed maybe 10 years ago or more.  It appeared on Ebay recently without a frame and with some damage in the shape of a couple of scratches and dents.  I got it for the asking price of £100.00 which was fairly expensive considering the damage.  My wife liked it as it was quite different to his usual paintings, it is in gouache and the subject matter is unusual, it is unclear what it depicts, could it be the little girl's birthday?  Anyway I hope you like it.

G D Thyagaraj - Carts and Trees

The painting below has kindly been sent to me by Mike from Vermont in the USA, he purchased the painting directly from the artist in New Delhi in 1966 while he was in India as part of the Peace Corps.  He has kindly allowed me to add the photo to my blog site, it is one the most popular scenes painted by the brothers.

It is a nice painting with deep shadows and powerful trees.  Once again I would like to thank Mike for sharing his painting. It is showing a little damage after all these years but would very nice once framed again.
