Footnotes

Provenance: Private UK Collection; bought in Paris in 1960s, thence by descent.

"The French countryside was new to me, and beautiful, and became the inspiration for my work. I visited Autun, Veselay and Chartres, and Avignon and Provence in my explorations into the French countryside and its architecture... But I was not in France to do Indian miniatures! I was here to experience French art, and to live it. One of the fundamental breakthroughs for me was that I began to paint in oils. This started me on an adventure involving ten to fifteen years of very intense work." (Sen, Geeti. Bindu: Space and Time in Raza's Vision. Media Transasia Ltd; New Delhi, 1997, p. 55 – 56.)
