Trapaud (Elisha) Moormans House in the Pettah of Coimbetoor, brush and watercolour, 1790.

Item Details

Description

Trapaud (Elisha, c.1750-1828) Moorman's House in the Pettah of Coimbetoor, brush and watercolour, red border below with title partially inscribed, and artist's signature truncated 'E. [?]' to the lower right corner, title further inscribed verso in ink, sheet 310 x 455 mm (12 1/4 x 17 7/8 in), small nick to lower centre, some toning and surface dirt, unframed, [bearing Archer no. 440], 1790

Provenance:
From the Collection of the Late W.G. and Mildred Archer; thence by descent.

⁂ Trapaud served with the Madras engineers between 1778 and 1828. He became a captain in 1784 and was appointed the Chief Engineer of Madras in 1793. He served in the Mysore Wars and was a good amateur actor. In 1788 he published a book of uncoloured aquatints, 'Twenty Views of India'. The British Library hold a number of watercolour landscapes by Trapaud, with 'A distant view from the W. of Fort St George (Madras)' being a particularly close comparative example to the present sheet [see BL shelfmark WD341].
