Anna Molka Ahmed (1917-1994)Untitled (Fakir) signed 'Anna Molka 73' lower rightpastel on paper, framed65 x 50.9cm (25 9/16 x 20 1/16in).Footnotes:ProvenanceProperty from a private collection, USA.Acquired in Karachi, Pakistan in the mid 1980s.In Untiled (Fakir) we can see a fine example of one of the many themes Molka Ahmed depicted. The seated male figure fills the composition. He is cross-legged and seated in dhyana mudra, a gesture of meditation. He is perhaps a fakir, a local subject whom she came across in her adopted country. Unlike her paintings which feature a riot of colours and thick impasto, this pastel work is pared back and employs two tones of green and yet the detailing achieved in the European style that she was known for employing is remarkable.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Krishen Khanna (B.1925)Untitled (Dhaba) circa 1980pastel and pencil on paper, framed48 x 38cm (18 7/8 x 14 15/16in).Footnotes:ProvenanceProperty from a private collection, India.Acquired from the artist;Property from a private collection, India;Acquired from Asta Guru, Modern Indian Art Auction, 19th-20th December 2018, lot 61;Untitled (Dhaba) is a rare and striking example of Khanna's ability to capture the essence of everyday life. This pastel and pencil on paper offers an intimate glimpse into the vibrant and bustling world of a roadside dhaba (an Indian eatery). The turbaned worker is pouring the famed dhaba chai in the quintessential glass that can be found in these establishments whilst the onlooking customer is waiting for his glass to be filled. Khanna's success with this work lies in his ability to convey this narrative using a medium that demands a delicate touch and sensitivity. Devoid of colour, the blended hues of black contribute to the overall dreamlike quality of the work.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Laxma Goud (B.1940)Untitled (Woman) signed in Telgu upper rightgouache on paper, framed39.8 x 18.3cm (15 11/16 x 7 3/16in).Footnotes:ProvenanceProperty from a private collection, UK.Acquired from Sotheby's, The Indian Sale, 8th May 1997, lot 434.Awarded a Padma Shri in 2016, one of India's highest civilian honours, Goud is a printmaker, draughtsman and painter. A prolific artist, he works across a variety of mediums including gouache, pastel, etching, sculpture and glass painting. Predominantly known for his early drawings depicting eroticism in a rural context, he has also depicted other aspects of rural life, including the women he has come across. Untitled (Woman) is one such example, where his exquisite painterly skills are on display. The painting is timeless and deeply rooted in Indian tradition as seen through the colourful sari depicted in the muted colours of blues, reds, oranges, yellows and whites. The women is unadorned and the composition is rendered with thin definitive lines. The woman's gaze is introspective, inviting viewers to engage with the work and pondering where her thoughts may lay.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

One of only two Vanden Plas Allweather Tourers built as a special-order for His Highness the Jam Sahib of Nawanagar, an important 'Maharaja' car. Lanchester displayed an impressive array of cars at the Olympia Motor Show in October 1930. However, just weeks later, financial troubles culminated in the company's bank calling in its overdraft of £38,000 forcing immediate liquidation of the company's assets. A buyer was sought by the bank and, given the company's proximity to BSA's Armourer Mills in Sparkbrook, a sale to BSA seemed a perfect fit. The acquisition was completed in January 1931 for just £26,000, significantly lower than the value of the firms assets. However, despite promises to the contrary, BSA aggressively asset-stripped the Lanchester factory and moved production to Sandy Lane in Coventry, the home of Daimler.George Lanchester's services were retained as a Senior Designer, with Frank becoming the Sales Director and the reborn company's first new model, the Lanchester Eighteen, was designed by George but, in reality, was a version of the Daimler Light Twenty, as was to be the case with the following models.Lanchesters customers were particularly loyal and werent impressed with, what we would now call, 'badge engineering'. One fiercely loyal customer was His Highness the Maharajah Ranjitsinhji, the Jam Sahib of Nawanagar (known to his friends as Ranji). Ranji fell in love with the Lanchester marque when he went to play cricket in India in the early 1900s, during the days of the British Raj. He befriended Lanchester brothers Frederick and George, who were the first to manufacture an all-British car in 1896, and shared their enthusiasm for this new form of transport. He bought his first Lanchester, a 9kW two-cylinder model, in 1904 and after that, whenever a new model was introduced, at least one was shipped to India to add to his collection.We have no record of Ranji's expanding fleet of Lanchesters (no doubt there will be one somewhere) apart from #3462, a 1936 Daimler V-type chassis bodied by Vanden Plas and 'dressed' as a Lanchester which was gifted to Ranji's great nephew, Maharaja Durgapratapsinh, as an 18th birthday present in 1964 and which came up for auction in New Zealand in 2010.The arrival of World War II changed everything, and Lanchester look-alike Daimlers were no longer steaming their way across the Indian Ocean. However, in 1946, Ranji felt the need to add a couple of more cars to his fleet. The war-hardened management at Daimler were not really in the mood to start painting cars in Cambridge Blue (all Ranji's cars were painted in that colour as thats where he went to University) and have their diminished number of time-served craftsmen spend time creating special grilles etc. to turn their DE 27s into a Lanchester model that never existed but, inevitably, they capitulated as long as Ranji ordered four.Four DE 27, 4-litre, six-cylinder Daimlers (coded LE27) were duly commissioned with two of them, chassis numbers #51049 and #51050, being bodied by Vanden Plas as Allweathers (Body nos. 4031 and 4032) and LE27, #51050, is the car we are privileged to be able to offer today.We now move forward over 40 years, when it appears that #51050 returned to the UK and was first registered as KYM 544 on 20th September 1988. It was subsequently purchased by Gerry Wheeler, our vendor's late father, on 1st February 2008 and there is a photograph within the history file of the car on a trailer, finished in cream and red, and looking a bit sorry for itself. There followed a gentle restoration to Gerrys particularly high standards over several years, returning the car to top form prior to it joining the family's fleet of very impressively-presented vintage and PVT cars, available for special occasions, birthdays, proms, and weddings etc.As you can see from our images, the Lanchester has been returned to Cambridge Blue with Royal Blue wings and detailing and a matching soft-top. The interior has been fully retrimmed and re-upholstered in a delightful pastel blue leather, and is now Maharajah quality. With a fleet of around 20 early cars, and having fully restored it, all maintenance and servicing requirements were carried out in-house.The car is accompanied by its current V5C, old insurance and DVLA documents, a variety of MOTs with the oldest from 1988, wiring diagrams, correspondence and a number of photographs.We understand that #51050's LE27 Allweather twin sister, #51049, was shipped to the USA in the 1990s and, assuming it still survives, it would be wonderful to reunite them at Pebble Beach one day. We invite and encourage your inspection of this rather special Maharajah car to appreciate the quality on offer.Specification Make: LANCHESTER Model: LE27 Year: 1945 Chassis Number: 51050 Registration Number: KYM 544 Transmission: pre selector Engine Number: 1254778 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHD Interior Colour: Pastel Blue leatherClick here for more details and images
