      Great Indian Fruit Bat

      This dramatic image is of the great Indian fruit bat (Pteropus giganteus) frontally displayed with one wing out-stretched. The body is shown in considerable detail, with the bat’s fur, eyes, curling claws, and wing veins naturalistically articulated. This work is closely related to another image of a bat painted by the well-known artist Bhawani Das, who was trained in Mughal miniature painting and commissioned by Sir Elijah Impey, Chief Justice of Bengal (1774–1782), and his wife, Lady Mary, to make extensive natural history studies at their estate in Calcutta. It was perhaps made by a follower of Bhawani Das who worked in a slightly more naturalistic mode.

      Diwan Bhawani Das (1770 – 1834)

      Diwan Bhawani Das (1770-1834) fue un hábil artista y administrador de los imperios Durrani y Sikh. Conocido por fusionar estilos indios tradicionales con técnicas modernas, sus pinturas como 'Shakuntala' son tesoros nacionales.
