It is believed that Scipio Moscatelli retired and passed the business on to G. Murari in around 1880. However, this pack has a tax stamp dated 1891 in addition to the name of Scipio Moscatelli. It is possible that these cards were made by Moscatelli before retirement, but not stamped and sold until Murari owned the business. Alternatively, perhaps Murari took over the business at a later date than is generally accepted. the Moscatelli family was especially known for creating the Viterbo pattern, but this pack seems to conform more closely to the Romagna I pattern from which it was derived.

Jamini Roy (Indian, 1887-1972)Untitled (Four Santhal Drummers) signed in Bengali lower rightgouache on paper on card42.8 x 54.3cm (16 7/8 x 21 3/8in).Footnotes:ProvenanceProperty from a private collection, Sri Lanka.Acquired by LTP Manjushri from the artist in India;Acquired from the above;Thence by descent to the present owner.Santhal Drummers is a fantastic example of Roy's unique style, wherein he combined traditional Indian folk art with modern painting techniques. He was particularly fascinated by the art and culture of the Santhal tribe, one of the largest indigenous communities in India, and likely painted this work as a tribute to their culture.Santhal Drummers is one of Jamini Roy's most famous paintings, and in the present lot it depicts four Santhal men playing traditional drums. Roy was drawn to the Santhal culture and their art, which he saw as pure and unadulterated by the influence of modern civilization. In his paintings of Santhal life, he sought to capture the simplicity, purity, and vibrancy of their culture.Roy was also interested in exploring the formal aspects of art, such as colour, line, and form, which he has captured well in the present lot. The bold, simple lines and bright colours used in the painting are characteristic of his unique style, which was influenced by traditional Indian folk art.To see a similar work sold in these rooms see Bonhams, Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern and South Asian Art, London, 2nd June 2010, lot 8.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
