She holds a small white elephant, draped in a red saddle cloth, up beside her face, its trunk curled into her fingers. A halo of pink, yellow and green rays rings her head. Green lotus stems branch around her into red blossoms, buds and fan-shaped leaves on the cream paper, and a caption in English script beneath names her Comola Kamanee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: watercolour on paper, 19th century, Minneapolis Institute of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKalighat painting is a style of watercolour on paper made in Calcutta, now Kolkata, from the nineteenth century into the early twentieth by patuas, traditional scroll painters, working near the Kalighat Kali temple. They sold the pictures cheaply to pilgrims and visitors, painting them quickly in broad, sweeping outlines and bold colour on plain backgrounds. Hindu gods and goddesses share the repertoire with satirical scenes of the changing city, such as the dandyish babu and the courtesan. Competition from cheap coloured lithographs ended the tradition, but its simplified forms influenced modern Indian painters, among them Jamini Roy. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds the largest collection, including some 233 paintings once owned by John Lockwood Kipling; others are held by the Cleveland Museum of Art and Minneapolis Institute of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
