Risyasringa and Santa is a 1890 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, depicting Kalighat, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A man in a red robe kneels in a snowy forest. His antlers glow faintly gold against the dark pines. He holds a bow, but no arrow, and looks up at a woman in white. She stands on a path of melting snow. A faint halo hovers above her head. Scholars guess it shows a Hindu saint meeting Saint Anne. This mix of Indian and European styles feels rare. Look for it in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A watercolour and tin alloy painting on cardboard from 1890 depicts Risyasringa seated while embracing his wife, Santa; Risyasringa is shown with the horns of a deer, a figure from Hindu and Buddhist mythology.
