Description
Property from a Private Californian Collection
Jamini Prakash Gangooly
1876 - 1953
Untitled (Himalayan Landscape)
Oil on board
Signed 'J.P. Gangooly' lower left
11 ⅝ x 17 ¾ in. (29.5 x 45 cm.)
The current lot showcases Gangooly's adept, almost invisible brushwork and his exceptional tonality. The brooding, shadowed foreground, accented with a few branches of foliage emerging from the lower right, is beautifully contrasted with the golden sunlight hitting the mountaintops in the distance. This painting is deeply atmospheric, and a masterful example of Gangooly's celebrated landscape work.
