Either the Naoriah Banker was quite a 'Vela', happily posing for portraits or the artist Sani of #Jalandhar had a fixation towards him. Seen so many c1860 AD #CompanyPainting on him like #DavidCollection (1), Bonhams and now, this trio from @NMnewdelhi posted by @DalrympleWill
Like Jagat Seths financing #EastIndiaCompany against #Lucknow #Awadh, Nauhria Mahajan Moneylenders of South India working in #Punjab were financing #Sikhs against #British.
Probably by Saini of #Jalandhar, this c1850 #CompanyPainting is now at #DavidCollection.

'A Naoriah Mahajan Moneylender', with his bookkeepers, c1850 #CompanySchool #CompanyPainting attributed to Muhammad Sanullah 'Sani' of #Jalandhar #Punjab, now at #DavidCollection.
Humour element: Shirt opens on the 'robust' Mahajan's stomach
Interesting piece of information.
#EastIndiaCompany civil service officer #WilliamFraser, who had close contacts with the locals had an Indian 'wife' too, named Amiban (left), from village Rania in #Haryana.
