An illustration of a religious subject.
The goddess Parvati enthroned with the infant Ganesa in her arms.
By a patua, Kalighat, c.1865.
Inscribed: ‘38. Ganesh Janani.’
Water-colour with silver details and lithographed outline; yellow background; black border; 460 by 280 mm.
Deposited c.1871, together with Add.Or.891-900, 902-19.
Note: From the same group of pictures as Add.Or.891-907 but by a different hand. For a series in the Victoria and Albert Museum with similar pale lemon yellow backgrounds, hard black borders and a lavish use of tiny dots and lines, each picture as if besprinkled with silver pigment, see W.G. Archer (1971), 52 (where the present picture is also discussed).
