About this work

This painting shows a red-skinned figure with a crown and a long tail. He’s holding a golden object above his head and a small figure in one hand. His face is serious, with big eyes and a mustache. The background is plain, but his yellow skirt and jewelry stand out. The figure looks like a mythical character, often linked to stories from Bengal. The bright colors and bold outlines make it stand out. Look up kalighat next to see more paintings like this.
