Acquired directly from the artist, circa 1950s - early 1960s | Chandrakala Lal became a friend and patron of Jamini Roy during the 1950s when she lived in Calcutta with her husband Shiv Lal. Mr. Lal’s main company produced and exported iron ore to Europe and Asia.

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Jamini Roy achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2016. In the South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art auction, the work Untitled (Santhal Woman Standing in a Stream) sold for GBP 35,000.00 (€ 45,671.31) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jamini Roy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Dralha) in September last year with an auction result of USD 579,600.00 (€ 592,456.30).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jamini Roy erzielte im Mai 2016 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Untitled (Santhal Woman Standing in a Stream) für GBP 35.000,00 (€ 45.671,31) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jamini Roy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Dralha) im September letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 579.600,00 (€ 592.456,30).
