Sigiriya Lake - Henry George Gandy



Henry George Gandy (1879 - 1950) was a highly skilled artist who served as a Lieutenant Colonel with the Royal Engineers in Ceylon from 1924-1928. The popularity and quality of his artwork was demonstrated by the fact that his scenes of Asia were reproduced in books and on postcards by the famous publishers Raphael Tuck. This watercolor of Sigiriya Lake was exhibited at the Ceylon Society of Arts Exhibition in 1928.
