Key Features:

  • 19th-Century Kalighat Expression – A rare and emotionally charged artwork from 19th-century Calcutta’s Kalighat school, showcasing the expressive folk art style that evolved around Kali temple pilgrims and local artisans.
  • Dramatic Depiction of Grief and Power – This painting captures a deeply historical motif: the wandering figure of Shiva carrying the lifeless body of Sati. The stark visual of the blackened shadow and delicate body hanging from a trishul expresses a profound sense of loss and transcendence—portrayed with raw emotion.
  • Colonial-Era Collectible – Originally created as a woodcut souvenir for temple visitors, this image is part of a set of hand-colored prints preserved at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, collected during Sir Monier Monier-Williams' cultural documentation tour in 1883–1884.
  • Printed on A3 Premium Matte Paper (350 GSM) – Ideal for framing, this archival reprint blends antique aesthetic with contemporary durability. A haunting yet deeply meditative piece for any art lover’s collection.
  • A Somarasa Heritage Revival Edition – Brought to life through Somarasa’s mission to reintroduce historical Indian visual traditions to modern audiences, collectors, and sacred art enthusiasts.

Why You’ll Love It:

This artwork is not just visual—it is visceral. It channels a historical narrative of anguish, transformation, and cosmic despair with folk visual grammar. The use of bold lines, haunting forms, and stark dual tones reflects the spiritual and artistic intensity of 19th-century Bengal. A powerful addition to collections centered on loss, transformation, or visual storytelling.
