The painting to the right from 1929 named: \"The Bandaged Thumb\", image courtesy Trustees,\u00a0Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalay, Mumbai\", is a painting of my (Nethe Dalby) mother Agnes Kj\u00e6rluff-Knudsen at the age of three, and it was shown in an article in the magazine 'Woman' July 1929, where it read: \"A.C.Tatham is a well-known artist whose average work is of a high standard.\"<\/p>\n

And further:\" The Bandaged Thumb\" owes much of its attraction to the sentiment of the subject - a little girl, only too conscious of her hurt and its inconvenience, looking bravely from the canvas in an effort not to cry.<\/p>\n

Beyond this, however, the figure is well-posed and splendidly characterised. The spectator is convinced too, that there is a young body, anxious for free movement, beneath the skillfully painted clothes.\"<\/p>\n

In 1933 \"The Bandaged Thumb\"\u00a0was purchased from the\u00a0ROYAL BRITISH COLONIAL SOCIETY OF ARTISTS' EXHIBITION by the trustees of a museum in Mumbai\u00a0previously known as Prince of Wales Museum of Western India, now renamed\u00a0as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya.
