About the piece
This 19th-century Kalighat painting from Calcutta offers a fascinating cross-cultural interpretation of the goddess Diana or Artemis. Executed with the characteristic bold brushwork and simplified forms of the Kalighat school, the winged figure is depicted with a crown and bow, accompanied by a small deer against a plain, aged paper background.
