The Miser

C Raja Raja Varma notes in his diary: "We secured a Jew to sit to my brother for a painting for the approaching Fine Arts Exhibition here (Bombay), His nose was rather crooked at the tip. Otherwise he is a fine specimen of an old Jew. A rupee and a half is his fee for each day's sitting."- Sunday, 3 February, 1901. From Raja Ravi Varma: Portrait Of An Artist: The Diary of C. Raja Raja Varma by Erwin Neumayer and Christine Schelberger.
