Here is a pretty image from a mid-20th century postcard - the artist listed as Pratap Sen, though I couldn’t find anything about him. Love the extreme simplicity of the light blue and yellow sarees, minimal jewellery, no blouses, but beautiful hair and an engaging setting. If I had a fantasy life in India I’d have henna on my feet and go barefoot every day.
Wow, now this is intriguing.
The print looks vaguely Gauguin-esque, although the pose of the woman applying the mehendi appears much like it transported itself out of an Ukiyoe print. And yet the image emerged from the mind of a Bengali artist. Kamal hai!
I find it wonderfully peaceful, yet sexy and sensual as well.
Lovely.
Great post without doubt. The information shared is of top quality which has to get appreciated at all levels. Well done keep up the good work.
