Description

Kolkata Cityscape

Against the backdrop of the imposing Victoria Memorial, this painting depicts a vintage hand-pulled rickshaw in somber hues, highlighted with splashes of red. The hazy, rough texture of the  background creates a sense of nostalgia, evoking the spirit of old Kolkata. It underscores the juxtaposition between the colonial splendor of the city and the simple, persistent existence of its street life.
