"Nepalese People at the Fountains in Patan, Murdi Nepal 1853" is a historical artwork created by Dr. Henry Ambrose Oldfield, a British medical doctor and artist known for his work in Nepal during the mid-19th century. Oldfield, who served as the British Resident's physician in Kathmandu from 1850 to 1863, documented his experiences and observations of Nepalese culture and landscapes through detailed sketches and writings. This particular piece captures a scene of daily life in Patan, one of the major cities in the Kathmandu Valley, renowned for its rich cultural heritage and traditional arts.

The artwork is significant for its ethnographic and historical value, providing a visual record of Nepalese society and architecture during a period of limited foreign access to the country. It depicts local inhabitants engaged in communal activities at the public fountains, which are an integral part of Patan's urban fabric and social life. The fountains, known locally as 'hitis', are not only sources of water but also serve as social gathering places and are often richly decorated with carvings and religious iconography.

Dr. Oldfield's work is a rare and valuable source of information on the customs, costumes, and daily practices of the Nepalese people in the mid-19th century. His illustrations, accompanied by his written accounts, contribute to the understanding of Nepal's history and the interactions between the British and local populations during the colonial era. "Nepalese People at the Fountains in Patan, Murdi Nepal 1853" is a testament to Oldfield's artistic skill and his keen anthropological interest in the region he served. The artwork is preserved and studied for its artistic merit as well as its contribution to the documentation of Nepal's cultural and historical landscape.
