These sketches are from the parts of India which he had not visited on his first trip to India. Sketches of toddywallas, tigers and sambur. This is the work of Charles "Snaffles" Johnson Payne, an English painter known for his humorous work and for his outstanding draughtsmanship and depiction of the horse in action. Snaffles specialised in water colours and drawings sold as prints which, at least initially, were hand-coloured by the artist and his sisters. His subject matter was invariably military, racing or hunting and equestrian scenes, or some combination of these. Many of his most famous pictures contrast or combine military life with the peacetime pursuits of racing and hunting. Unpaginaged. Approximately 12 ½ inches tall.
