Book Details
First Sentence
"Calcutta in the late eighteenth century was an unlikely place for a Flemish marine artist, born to a prominent Antwerp merchant family, but for Francois Balthazar Solvyns (1760-1824), it was to be his home for thirteen years, and the product of his work there, a portrait of the Hindus in a collection of more than 250 etchings, would consume his life."
