They were exhibited in the Indian Section of the Festival of Empire (1911). In the \*Catalogue and Guide to the Indian Court, Festival of Empire\*, p. 92, Mrs. Herringham states that ‘there are at least twenty different kinds of painting. Some pictures recall Greek and Roman composition and proportions, a few late ones resemble the Chinese manner to a certain extent, but the majority belong to a phase of art which one can call nothing except Indian, for it is found nowhere else.’ - [Previous: c14.s2.111](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c14.s2.111) - [Next: c14.s3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c14.s3.1) - [Up: c14.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c14.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c14.s2.112](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c14.s2.112) · Pramāṇa
