About this work

This is a small painting of a potter and his wife. They sit side by side. The potter holds a clay pot. His wife has a metal pot on her lap. Company painters in India made these pictures for British customers in the 1800s. There were twelve in the set. This one shows just one couple at work. A good next look is the Victoria and Albert Museum.
