Indian Brahmin Penitents and Pilgrim – Rare 18th Century Ritual Engraving, 1734
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Indian Brahmin Penitents and Pilgrim – Rare 18th Century Ritual Engraving
Description:
This compelling copperplate engraving from the 18th century offers a rare visual study of Indian religious asceticism and devotion as interpreted through a European lens. It likely originates from the later volumes of *The Ceremonies and Religious Customs of Various Nations of the Known World*, the monumental multi-volume series published in Amsterdam and Paris during the early to mid-1700s, with illustrations attributed to Bernard Picart and his collaborators.
The sheet is divided into four separately framed scenes, each depicting a unique figure engaged in acts of penance or pilgrimage. The upper left panel shows a seated female "Pénitente Bramine" (Brahmin penitent) under a flowering tree, joined by other women in a meditative or devotional posture. The details, such as the tiger skin mat and ceremonial tools, signal both religious symbolism and ritual practice.
The upper right image presents a solitary ascetic woman seated in rigid meditation on what appears to be a stretched animal hide floating in water, holding a prayer bead mala. The caption explains she must never change position, emphasizing the extremity of her discipline.
The lower left quadrant is the most dramatic: a male penitent with wild hair stands before a temple with both arms raised straight in the air, said to remain that way until death. Another figure lies prostrate in the grass, illustrating the prescribed sleeping posture for certain penitents—lying flat without ever bending their legs. These powerful visual representations underscore the physical trials undertaken by devout individuals in pursuit of spiritual transcendence.
In the lower right, a "Pélerine Bramine" (Brahmin female pilgrim) stands quietly, dressed simply, with a bowl in hand, perhaps engaged in ritual begging or...

An Impressive 18th Century Palladian Style Fireplace in Statuary & Jasper Marble
By Sir Henry Cheere 1
Located in London, GB
An Impressive 18th Century Palladian Style Fireplace in Statuary and Contrasting Jasper Marbles with Sienna Marble Column Jambs
From the London, Westminster workshops of Sir Henry Cheere (1703–1781) made for the 2nd Earl of Ossory for his seat at Ampthill Park, Bedfordshire, probably during improvements made by Sir William Chambers to the principle rooms and for building the two wings, between 1768–1772.
The moulded breakfront shelf stepping forward over the jambs is decorated with lamb’s tongue and egg and dart. The frieze centred with a large rectangular tablet which drops into the upper member of the architrave, of choice specimen marble jasper of unusual and rare greenish hues, flanked by yellow coloured Jasper marble panels, the rectangular Jasper end blockings decorated with open sunflower heads with curled petals in statuary, upheld by the three-quarter round, tapering Sienna marble columns with Roman Ionic order statuary capitals and bases fronting the statuary pilasters. The whole rests on Statuary marble blocks.
A closely related coloured drawing of a columned fireplace, with no sculptural decoration, from the Cheere's workshop can be seen in the Victoria Museum, D715(2)-1887 (one of 28 coloured designs of fireplaces).
In 1769 the young Earl of Upper Ossory bought in the architect Sir William Chambers to extend and modernise the house adding East (kitchen service...
