One of the highlights of the upcoming Islamic & Indian Art sale at Bonhams in London is Henry Singleton's The Surrender of the two sons of Tipu Sultan. The work, which is rather famous due to it portraying an important event captured by an artist who as it happens never went to India, has been consigned by a descendant of Major General Sir David Baird who is actually depicted in the scene. The work will be offered on 22nd May 2025 carrying an estimate of £200,000 - £300,000.
