Saffronart

Edwin Lord Weeks, 'Muttra (Mathura)', 1883 | 25th Anniversary Evening Sale, 27 September 2025

Watch as Saffronart President and co-founder Minal Vazirani sheds light on the technical brilliance of Edwin Lord Weeks’ 1883 landscape of a Mathura ghat. Painted at the height of Orientalism, his works express a quiet affinity for the scenery and people of the Subcontinent whom he renders entirely without sensationalism.
