About the event

Beyond Britain: “A Woman Holding a Hookah at Faizabad, India”

Explore how artist Tilly Kettle sought to represent India in the eighteenth century through the alluring image of the “dancing girl.” In a classic portrayal of the “oriental” east, Kettle's work captures the cultural infusions that marked early East India Company rule.
