- 7 years ago
1931-ம் ஆண்டு வரையப்பட்ட மகாத்மா காந்தியின் அரிய பென்சில் ஓவியம் பிரிட்டனில் ஏலத்தில் விடப்படுவதாவும், ஓவியம் 10 லட்சம் வரை விலை போகலாம் என எதிர்பார்ப்பதாகவும் தெரிவிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.
A previously unknown pencil portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, drawn from life in 1931, is set to go under the hammer at a Sotheby's auction here next week and may fetch between 8,000 and 12,000 pounds.
The sale on July 11 by Sotheby's will also include a collection of handwritten letters by the leader of the Indian Independence movement to the family of Sarat Chandra Bose, a freedom fighter and the elder brother of Subhas Chandra Bose.
"Gandhi usually refused to sit for formal photographs, let alone a portraitist, making this an extremely rare portrayal of the political leader at work. The sketch shows Gandhi writing with a look of intense concentration whilst seated on the floor, and is inscribed by him with the words 'Truth is God/MK Gandhi/4.12. 31 ," the auction house said in a statement.
