Artists
'In the early nineteenth century, groups of patuas started selling single panels depicting various narratives of their repertoire. One group in particular gained popularity as ‘Kalighat painters’, who sold gouache watercolours of divinities and notable Calcutta iconic figures painted on single sheets of paper to nineteenth century pilgrim-tourists.' – Aditi Nath Sarkar |
