Painting believed to be only one Mahatma Gandhi sat for going under hammer at Bonhams
TOI correspondent from London : An oil portrait believed to be the only painting Mahatma Gandhi ever sat for is going under the hammer at Bonhams in July with an estimate of £50,000-£70,000 (Rs 58 lakh to Rs 81 lakh. ) It is the first time this portrait has ever been sold at auction as it remained in British artist Clare Leighton's collection until her death in 1989, after which it was passed down through her family. Leighton, reputed for her wooden engravings, was introduced to Gandhi when he visited London in 1931 to attend the Second Round Table Conference. At the time, she was in a relationship with political journalist Henry Noel Brailsford, who was a passionate supporter of Indian Independence. He had travelled to India in 1930 where he met key Independence figures. Afterwards he published the book 'Rebel India', met Gandhi in London in 1931 and introduced Leighton to him. She became one of very few artists admitted to his office and was given the opportunity to sit with him to sketch and paint him in 1931. In Nov 1931 Leighton showcased her portraits at the Albany Galleries in London. The following month, Gandhi's personal secretary, Mahadev Desai, wrote a letter to Leighton, a copy of which is attached to the backing board, which reads: 'It was such a pleasure to have had you here for many mornings doing Mr Gandhi's portrait.' According to the artist's family, the portrait was on public display in 1974 when it was allegedly attacked with a knife by a Hindu right-wing activist. The catalogue entry states: 'We have found no documentation to corroborate this, but the painting shows signs of restoration to what appears to be repaired tears in several places. A label attached to the backing board confirms the painting was restored in 1974 by the Lyman Allyn Museum Conservation Laboratory. ' 'There is nothing comparable to this painting in existence as it was painted in his lifetime and was a painting that he sat for on multiple occasions,' Rhyanon Demery, head of sale, told TOI. The auction takes place from 7 to 15 July.

Tesla sales continue to fall in Europe's largest car market, here's the Chinese EV company hurting Tesla
Tesla sales in Germany , Europe's largest car market, plummeted by 36.2% in May, marking the fifth consecutive month of decline, according to data released by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). The agency reported that Tesla registered just 1,210 new vehicles last month, down from the same period a year ago. Despite Tesla's struggles, the overall market for battery electric vehicles (EVs) in Germany surged by 44.9%, driven by strong demand for competitors, notably Chinese automaker BYD. The decline in Tesla's sales extends beyond Germany, with significant drops across other European markets. In France, Tesla's registrations fell by a staggering 67%, while Spain saw a 29% decrease. In Sweden, Tesla's sales dropped 53%, with Volkswagen's new electric model, the ID.7, outselling Tesla's revamped Model Y by nearly two to one. Norway was a notable exception, where Tesla sold 2,600 vehicles—more than triple the previous year's figures—boosted by strong deliveries of the updated Model Y. Chinese EVs are hurting Tesla Meanwhile, Chinese EV giant BYD has been gaining ground in Europe. In Germany, BYD's sales soared ninefold to 1,857 units in May, making it the top-performing Chinese EV brand in the market. This growth comes despite the European Union imposing 17% tariffs on Chinese EVs in 2024. Across Europe, the appetite for electric vehicles remains robust, with Spain reporting a 72% increase in overall EV sales, even as Tesla's figures slid by 19%. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unfriendliest Countries in the World, Ranked TheDaddest Undo Analysts attribute Tesla's declining sales to a combination of factors, including growing competition from Chinese manufacturers and controversy surrounding CEO Elon Musk 's political activities, which have sparked protests among some European consumers.
