Caspar Leighton, great-nephew of British-American artist Clare Leighton, poses with a painting by his great-aunt of Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi at Bonhams auction house in London on June 9, 2025. Gandhi, one of the most influential figures in India's history who led a non-violent movement against British rule and inspired similar resistance campaigns across the world, is the subject of tens of thousands of artworks, books and films. But the 1931 painting by Leighton, which is believed to have been damaged by a Hindu nationalist activist, is thought to be the only oil portrait he sat for, according to the painter's family and Bonhams, where it will be auctioned online from July 7-15.
