The auction opens with an important New York private collection of classical Indian paintings, many of which were acquired directly from the Ehrenfeld collection. Highlights include two folios from the Tehri Garhwal series of the Gita Govinda and an Imperial Mughal painting of mythical birds. The sale follows with twelve superb works of art from the collection of the financier and scholar Kevin R.
