Beautiful early 20th-century chromolithograph of the Hindu goddess Saraswati, produced by the historic Ravi Varma Press in Bombay. These prints were iconic devotional artworks distributed across India from the 1900s–1950s. This example features rich color, hand-applied embellishments, and retains its original rustic wooden frame with the period metal backing panel. The artwork shows age-related wear, including water staining and pigment loss, but displays a wonderful antique patina that collectors value. A rare piece of Indian art history in original condition.
FRAME:
Original wood frame, simple, aged, oxidized
Backed with galvanized tin/metal sheet, typical of early Indian-framed religious prints
Condition: rust, patina, age-appropriate wear, but structurally intact
This type of frame actually increases authenticity and value to collectors
Approx. based on tape measure in images:
~10 in x 15 in (including frame)
