He raises one hand holding a small dark-red object. Two women stand together beside him, one in a maroon sari and one in a blue sari, each edged in silver paint and wearing silver jewellery and anklets; the nearer woman holds up a small dark-red object too. They pose against bare cream paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: a Kalighat painting from Kolkata, India, in gum tempera, graphite, ink and tin on paper, about 1890; Cleveland Museum 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\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order.
