The Songstress
Not on view
A young woman who wears a turban sits in a mountainous landscape and sings from a music book. The image illustrates "The Palace of Fortune, An Indian Tale" (1769), written by William Jones while still a student at Oxford (he later became a significant Orientalist scholar, high court judge in Calcutta, and was knighted). Little in the text relates directly to India, and Bunbury followed suit with generalized exotic elements.
