Another #TEFAF2014 #Painting Highlight: Portrait of a Begum of Oudh by George Duncan Beechey (1798-1852) This painting is a recent discovery. George Duncan Beechey had access to the inner circles of the Lucknow royal familiy and he managed to paint high-ranking ladies of the court. This painting appears to be one of the very few surviving images of the series that he did on royal princesses in Luckhow. Sadly, a large number of his paintings, which were sent to England for exhibition, were lost at sea. The only other two paintings from the same series that can be found are in the Lucknow Museum in India. You can see this painting in Amir Mohtashemis stand (235)
