Visual and Material ArtsHistories

However, over time, their topics changed to include urban dwellings and secular themes: from the doings of babus and bibis to raging court cases of the time. This painting shows an urban woman sitting cross-legged, with a smile on her face, probably pondering over the day’s events (Courtesy: Darshan Shah/Weavers Studio Research Centre, Kolkata)
