Selected from the Center’s rich holdings, the exhibition included a diverse range of objects from both high art and popular culture, including albums, scrapbooks, prints, paintings, miniatures, and sculpture, demonstrating how collecting practices and artistic patronage in India during that period constituted a complex intersection of culture and power. — — The starting point and central focus of the exhibition was a remarkable and little-known archive in the Center’s collection assembled by Charles Warre Malet and the British artist James Wales. Warre Malet was the East India Company’s Resident in Pune between 1785 and 1798. He and Wales commissioned over a hundred works on paper by British and Indian artists, which are included in the archive together with extensive manuscript material and vivid sketches of landscape, architectural sites, scenes from everyday life, and diplomatic ceremonial events. An extensive selection of drawings from the archive, complemented by other works from the collections, provided a unique window into central India at a critical historical moment. A pivotal figure in this rich cultural interchange was the highly accomplished Indian draftsman and sculptor Gangaram Tambat, who drew on both indigenous and European artistic conventions; his remarkable hybrid drawings were juxtaposed with works by British artists, including William Hodges, William and Thomas Daniell, Robert Mabon, and James Wales. — — Credits — — The curator for the exhibition was Holly Shaffer, Graduate Research Assistant at the Center and PhD candidate in History of Art at Yale, under the supervision of Gillian Forrester, the Center’s Curator of Prints and Drawings.
