Artist
Hulas Lal
Hulas Lal is a Patna School of Painting artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A parrot perched on a branch and a wrestling scene in muted blues and ochres belong to the small, unsigned body of work called “Company paintings.” Made by Indian artists under British rule, these lively pictures show local life for European buyers. Hulas Lal’s A Parrot (c. 1870) and Indian Sports (c. 1830) sit in this tradition. Tap into Indian Sports to see costumed wrestlers in a sunlit courtyard.
