G D Thyagaraj - Temple in Jaipur

This is a painting by G D Thyagaraj again one of his popular temples in Jaipur maybe?  He has painted this one from many different directions.

It is really quite a nice painting with the steep stair case leading up to the temple with the tree behind.

Silver Half Rupee Snuff Box

I came across another snuff box this time it was made out of silver half rupee coins dated from around 1930 or later.  It was up for sale for £100 which seemed a lot compared with prices on previous boxes that I have seen.

G D Thyagaraj - Working in the paddy fields

Another version of Thyagaraj's working in the paddy fields.  This one has two large trees in the painting.

The women are working while a man sits on the dry land watching them work.

G D Thyagaraj - Reverse of working in the paddy fields

I first added 'Working in the Paddy fields" back in July 2012 it has just sold on Ebay in December 2013 from a seller in Wales for £58.00.  It has an unfinished painting on the reverse by G D Thyagaraj.

This is one of his popular street market scenes that we have seen many versions of over the years. For some reason it was not finished and the Paddy Fields painting was finished.

Air India - Coaster

Another Air-India drinks coaster must date from the late 1960's is my best guess.  My sister used to have a full set from all the destinations.

This one is just titled 'India' rather than the name of a city.

G D Thyagaraj - Temple and Market

Recently sold on the internet for £72.00 very reasonable and quite a nice painting with a little foxing.  Shows a temple in the background and a busy market in the street outside by Thyagaraj.

It is a fairly dark moody painting not sure if this was the original intention or if some colours have faded.

P.S. I have just noticed that I have added this painting previously back in June 2012, it must have been lying low and has re-emerged.
