1800s Black Ink Calcutta Graphite Underdrawing Kalighat Painting Tin Paint Two Women
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to 19th century India, specifically Calcutta, where we witness a mesmerizing scene of devotion and connection. The artwork, known as "Vaishnava Devotee with Two Women" showcases a Kalighat painting created using black ink, watercolor, tin paint, and graphite underdrawing on paper. The central figure in this composition is a Vaishnava devotee who exudes an aura of spiritual intensity. Dressed in traditional attire and adorned with sacred markings on his forehead, he stands tall with hands clasped together in prayer. His eyes are closed in deep contemplation as he immerses himself in divine worship. Flanking the devotee are two women whose presence adds depth to the narrative. Their expressions reflect reverence and awe towards the devout man at their center. Perhaps they seek guidance or blessings from him or simply find solace in his unwavering faith. The artist's skillful use of black ink creates intricate details that bring life to every stroke on this delicate piece of art. The addition of watercolor and tin paint infuses vibrant hues into the composition while maintaining its ethereal quality. As we gaze upon this remarkable painting, we are transported back to a bygone era when spirituality permeated everyday life in India. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of devotion and reminds us of our own quest for meaning amidst the complexities of existence.
