'Saul Trees in the north of Rohilcund 1792.'. Artist(s): Longcroft, Thomas (c. 1760-1811)
- Scope & Content:
-
Sal Trees in the north of Rohilkhand. 1792.
Inscribed: ‘Saul trees to the North of Rohilcund 1792’ (lower centre, in the margin) and with indistinct initials (on the reverse).
Pencil and grey wash within the artist’s wash-line border; 386 x 577 mm.
Provenance: William and Mildred Archer collection, 1973. Purchased with the assistance of the National Art-Collections Fund, Christie’s, lot 32, 24 September 2003.
Exhibited: ‘India Observed,’ V & A, 1982, no. 27.
Note: Sal (‘Shorea robusta’) is a handsome variety of tree that colonises those areas in which it is planted. The trees can reach thirty-five metres and their trunks are distinguished by deep vertical furrows that dent the smooth bark – perhaps discernible in the present drawing. The inscription suggests the drawing was made on a visit to Haridwar.
