CONCLUSION
The entire miniature collection of Anirban and Regina Sadhu is all encompassing of this visual pictorial tradition of the country. With an eye for history, rarity of the painting, different regions and above all the diverse thematic content makes it as interesting as it is equally wide ranging in its content and geographical reach. From the Rajasthani tradition to Pahari miniatures, Islamic Sultanate period to the Mughals including a map makes the whole collection comprehensive, diverse, interesting and academically challenging in its pictorial content and versatility of visual language. Each of the miniature is truly a visual delight reflecting the particular aesthetic sensibility of the collectors, who thoughtfully, intelligently and with an aesthetic eye has made a productive investment through this collection.
