Acquired directly from the artist by Sarah Erulkar, a well-known documentary director, c irca 1960 Thence by descent Sarah Erulkar was born in Calcutta, and at the age of seven she and her family moved to London where she later went on to win several awards as a film-maker over a career spanning 40 years. A visit to India in 1947 to take part in the independence celebrations with her father, a barrister who had defended leaders of the Independence movement in the 1920s, resulted in her directing Lord Siva Danced. This film featured the renowned Indian classical dancer Ram Gopal and became a cult classic in India and in Britain. Erulkar made several subsequent trips to Calcutta in the 1950s and 60s and acquired the current painting during one of these visits. Erulkar continued to make films about India, including The Living City about Calcutta for which she won a BAFTA for best director in 1978
