About the piece

Produced in Calcutta around 1890, this work exemplifies the Kalighat style, known for its rapid, expressive brushwork and saturated colors. The scene depicts the Hindu deities Rama and Sita enthroned, attended by figures and a prostrate Hanuman, rendered with the distinctive bold outlines and rhythmic compositions of the period.
