EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a group of six Bengali plaster figures from the mid-19th century, representing various trades and occupations in India. Each figure is meticulously crafted with their bodies made of plaster and clothes intricately fashioned from linen and cloth. Resting on circular wood bases, these figures stand as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess of Bengal during this era. The unknown artist behind these remarkable creations has captured the essence of Indian trades and occupations with great attention to detail. From merchants to craftsmen, each figure portrays a distinct profession, offering a glimpse into the diverse livelihoods that thrived in 19th-century British India. The combination of materials used - plaster, linen, wood - adds depth and texture to these exquisite sculptures. The delicate study of each figure's costume further enhances their authenticity, transporting viewers back in time to witness an integral part of Indian history. As we admire this rare collection preserved by the Liszt Collection, it is important to acknowledge its significance beyond mere commercial use. These figures serve as valuable artifacts that shed light on the social fabric and economic landscape of Bengal during colonial times. Let us appreciate this snapshot from British India's past for its historical value while marveling at the skillful craftsmanship displayed by an anonymous artist who brought these Bengali trades and occupations to life over 150 years ago.
