A Russian artist in India? Among famous British & Japanese artists producing art about their India travels, Vasily Vereshchagin was lesser known. He painted mostly the Himalayan Mt Range, Kashmir. Here is “Prince of Wales at Jaipur” #booksky #phdchat #art #wildlife #museum #india #royal #academicsky
