Indian Portraits documents two-hundred-and-fifty-years of portraiture, depicting key catalytic moments as well as its masters. Besides being significant as a work of art, it also has anthropological significance in the manner in which it records the Indian elite, the royal families, the women of India (initially, mostly just courtesans, or at most spouses), saints and sinners, national leaders and historical figures, as well as members of the artists' intimate circle of friends and family.
