Shatabhisha is a 1890 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, depicting Kalighat, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a woman dressed in a red sari with white polka dots, adorned with intricate silver jewelry on her arms and neck. She is seated on a black and white dog, holding a small object in her right hand. The woman's attire and the dog's presence are the central focus of the image. The woman's facial expression is serene, and her posture conveys a sense of calmness. The dog, with its black and white spots, adds a touch of playfulness to the scene. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of tranquility and peacefulness. The painting's style and technique are reminiscent of Impressionism and Realism, with bold brushstrokes and vivid colors. If you're interested in exploring more works that blend these styles, look into the Impressionism movement.
A watercolour and tin alloy painting on cardboard depicts a female figure riding a hound while holding a quoit, representing Shatabhisha, the twenty-fifth lunar mansion.
