Catalogue Note
Kutch (or Cutch) school painting developed in the region now known as Gujarat, where Bhuj is one of the main cities.
Company School painting never developed on a large scale in western Indian. Occasionally a European would employ an Indian artist to carry out private commissions, but this was not commonplace in the western regions. It was not until the mid-nineteenth century that sets of pictures depicting traditional Indian trades and castes were regularly produced in western India and sold in Bombay, Poona and Belgaum.
