I am an art historian with a particular interest in late 17th and 18th century Indian painting. Interests include: Mughal and provincial painting, art for the East India Company, and British artists in India. I recently curated the British Library’s 2012 exhibition Mughal India: Art, Culture and Empire and co-authored the accompanying publication.
