Provenance
Albert Mathews (1904 - 1986) was employed by Biddle Sawyer & Co. between 1926 and 1969, as Senior Export Manager for India. Through his position, he befriended Mr. Alwar Chetty who would visit Mr. Mathews at his home in Ilford and bring gifts such as Indian brass candlesticks, inlaid trays and these watercolour paintings. These paintings were a gift to Mr. Mathews on one such occasion and have since been inherited by his grandson.
