Provenance: from the collection of Robert Thornhill (d.2018).

Robert Thornhill was a connoisseur and teacher of Fine Art. He developed a keen interest in Burmese art, acquiring considerable knowledge of Burmese artists, their styles and influences, sharing with others his knowledge of this milieu. His home in Bangkok exhibited, with delight, the many acquisitions he collected over several years on visits to Yangon's art dealers in the early 2000s.
