I am offering here two exceedingly rare 19th century drawings of Indians at their daily chores, created by the multi-talented John Lockwood Kipling.
John Lockwood Kipling was an architect, sculptor and illustrator and the father of the acclaimed writer Rudyard Kipling, who is best known for the Jungle Book.
In 1865, after marrying Lokwood relocated to Bombay (today Mumbai) in British-India where he began to teach as a professor of architectural sculpture in the Jeejeebhoy School of Art in Bombay (now Mumbai), and became its principal. Lokwood then went on to become the esteemed headmaster of Mayo College of Arts in Lahore (Then India, today Pakistan) from 1875 to 1893 as well as the curator of the old original Lahore Museum.
He retired back to England in 1893 and settled in Tisbury.
Whilst in India, in his free time Lokwood Kippling would undertake all manners of design work and created a wealth of drawings, documenting and portraying Indian crafts and professions, which he so longed to preserve for the future. Most of Lokwoods work is held institutionally and extremely rarely turns up on the open market. For example a large volume of his output can be found in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
The two drawings were acquired in Bath, England from a dealer, who in turn acquired them from the estate of Kipling’s neighbor in Tisbury, Wiltshire, England in the early 1990's.

- Gustav Melcher ( German, 1898 -?) Boats off Venice Italy Ink Water Color c. 1918By Gustav MelcherLocated in Meinisberg, CHGustav Melcher (German, 1898-?) Segelschiffe vor Venedig - Sailing ships off Venice • India ink, water colour wash • Visible image ca. 11.5 x 18 cm • Glased Frame ca. 20 x 25 cm • Verso various inscriptions • Signed lower right Gustav Melcher was a German painter and a pioneer in film, film criticism and film theory and created this clever little picture of the skyline of Venice with various vessels. Going by the various inscriptions an the backing paper, this drawing was made in 1918 when Gustav was twenty years old and passed on three years later to Gertrud Melcher on the 1. 2. 1921. I have no reasons to doubt this information. The small drawing is still in its unopened frame, so maybe there is more information to be discovered , however this will be the privilege of the next owner. The picture also has retained its original antique frame – note that it has lost over the years various sections of the gesso decoration. The very precisely executed drawing is most enjoyable to look at and doing so, remember you are looking through the eyes of a young man, who saw this foreign sea cape over a century ago. Thank you for your interest and please note, that I offer free worldwide shipping on all my items. Gustav Melcher began his studies at the Düsseldorfer Kunstakademie under Peter Janssen and Eduard von Gebhardt. Originaly he was interested in figurative and portrait painting, but after time he decided to pursue the depiction of land- and marinescapes. Durin his studies the young artist undertook trips to visit England, Scotland, Belgium and France and he joined the artist society Malkasten. It was in those days he would hold speeches to his colleges about this new invention called ‘Kintopp’ – Melcher was a great advocate of the moving pictures...Category

- Natasha (Sitting), Mixed media on Pergamenata parchmentBy Howard TangyeLocated in London, GBHoward Tangye (b.1948, Australia) has been an influential force in fashion for decades. Lecturing at London’s Central Saint Martins for 35 years, including 16 years as head of BA Womenswear. There, he tutored many contemporary greats, including John Galliano, Stella McCartney, Christopher Kane, Wes Gordon, Zac Posen and Hussein Chalayan. Examples of Tangye’s portraits are held in many important collections, both public and private, including the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), Harvard University and London’s National Portrait Gallery. Throughout his teaching career Tangye quietly developed a particularly idiosyncratic art practice. By employing a decisive line with bold applications of richly layered materials, Tangye explores the nuances of the human form in an effort to expose his subjects’ true essence and energy. — Howard Tangye Natasha (Sitting), 2012 Mixed media on Pergamenata parchment 100 x 70 cm (39.37 x 27.55 in) (signed) (unframed) — This portrait shows Natasha, an ex-student and model. Here she’s posed in Howard’s studio wearing a look from Louise Gray’s S/S 2013 collection. The collection featured headwear by Stephen Jones, the renowned British milliner who created the cut-out plexiglass fascinator Natasha wears here. This work hails from a series commissioned by Dan Thawley, director of “A Magazine Curated By” for the edition guest edition by Jones who dedicated his issue to Anna Piaggi...Category
