Craftsman Selling Cases by a Teak-Wood Building, Ahmedabad (1885) captures a richly textured street scene in colonial India. Two mounted Rajput nobles inspect inlaid wood boxes at a craftsman’s stall, set against the backdrop of intricately carved teak architecture. Weeks masterfully renders the interplay of surfaces – from the smooth skin of the artisan to the ornate saddles and monumental corbels. The subdued lighting evokes the shaded alleys of Ahmedabad, enhancing the painting’s quiet intimacy. This work exemplifies Weeks’ fascination with Indian urban life and his reverence for its architectural marvels.
