Artist
Bhawani Das
Bhawani Das is a Patna School of Painting artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Bhawani Das painted lush Indian nature scenes in the late 1700s. His *Great Indian Fruit Bat* shows a bat hanging from a tree, wings spread wide—detailed enough to count its claws. Another work captures a mango branch heavy with unripe fruit. His paintings belong to the Company style, made for British patrons in India. See his bat up close, then tap Company paintings to find more artists who blended local art with European tastes.
