Thence by descent
This painting was a gift of the artist to Dr. Dimock who was an influential scholar of Indian languages, the first to teach Bengali literature in the U.S., and professor emeritus of the University of Chicago who was awarded the Desikottama, honorary doctor of letters in 1992. Dr. Dimock first travelled to Calcutta in 1955 and this painting was presented to him at this time.
