Footnotes

Provenance:
Property from a private collection, France.
Acquired by the owner from Pierre Berge, Art Moderne & Contemporain, 17 December 2015.

'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'. (G. Sen, Bindu: Space and Time in Raza's Vision, New Delhi 1997, p. 55–56).
