Indian Phad Painting | Two Ladies

A black and white Indian Phad painting from Rajasthan of two ladies, one carrying a pot on her head.

The other lady is proferring a bowl with candles. They are standing underneath an elegant arch with floral decorations.

Phad paintings are originally made as large backcloths for song and dance theatres that would travel from village to village performing familiar folk tales. The performances would take place after dark and often last all night.Presented in a bevelled mount and cardboard outer sleeve.
