EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating piece of art from the 19th century in India. Titled "Maid Bringing Hookah Lady recto Krishna Weighted (Maid Bringing a Hookah to a Lady (recto); Krishna Weighted against Precious Objects (?) (verso), 1800s)" this Kalighat painting is an exquisite example of the artistic mastery prevalent during that era. The artwork, created using black ink, watercolor, and tin paint on paper, depicts two distinct scenes on its front and back sides. On the recto side, we witness a maid gracefully presenting a hookah to an elegant lady. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this moment captured in time. On the verso side, we are greeted with another intriguing scene featuring Krishna weighted against precious objects. This enigmatic portrayal raises questions about its deeper meaning and symbolism. Measuring approximately 48.6 x 30.1 cm with just the secondary support or 45.8 x 27.9 cm for the painting alone, this piece exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship characteristic of Kalighat paintings. As you gaze upon this extraordinary print from Liszt Collection, allow yourself to be transported back in time to experience the rich cultural heritage of Calcutta in India during the 1800s.
