The market for Indian scenes by western artists seems stronger than ever at present. The aforementioned picture by Henry Singleton, an artist who never went to India yet painted the capture of Tipu Sultan's sons after the capitulation of Seringapatam in 1799, realised £2,105,400 (including commission) over its £200k - £300k estimate at Bonhams today.
