About the piece
This striking 19th-century Kalighat painting from Calcutta depicts Rani Lakshmi Bai of Jhansi, a leading figure in the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Rendered with the style's characteristic bold brushwork and vibrant palette, the queen is shown as a powerful warrior on her white steed, holding a curved sword aloft.
