EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th century watercolor and ink on paper depicts a coconut seller and a woman in traditional attire from the Bijapur region of Karnataka, India. The seller, an elderly man with a weathered face and a turban adorned with a red lacca border, balances a large load of coconuts skillfully on his head. He wears a lunghi, a long cloth wrapped around his waist, and a simple, loose-fitting shirt. The woman, dressed in a vibrant, full-length sari with intricate patterns and a blouse adorned with sequins, carries a large water jug on her head. Both figures exude a sense of resilience and determination, reflecting the subsistence nature of their work in this Southeast Asian country. The use of opaque watercolor and ink on paper adds depth and texture to the image, capturing the rich heritage and cultural traditions of Hindoostan during the 1820s. This portrait offers a glimpse into the lives of the local people, providing a window into the social classes and daily life of this region during this time period. The image is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, serving as a reminder of the diverse and intriguing history of India and its people.
