A Wayside Refreshment Stall, between 1750 and 1775: A Vibrant Scene of Daily Life in India This 18th-century print depicts a bustling wayside refreshment stall in India, likely located along a thoroughfare or bazaar. The scene is filled with a diverse group of people, including men and boys, engaged in various activities. In the foreground, a tea seller pours steaming hot tea into a customer's cup, while a horse and rider approach from the left. In the background, a snake charmer entertains a crowd with his cobra, its hood raised in a mesmerizing display. The intricate details of the clothing and apparel worn by the figures in this print offer a glimpse into the fashion of the time. The women wear colorful saris and ornate headdresses, while the men don flowing garments and turbans. The use of gold and other metallic accents adds to the opulence of the scene. The print, created using ink opaque watercolor and gold on paper, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of India during the 18th century. It is believed to originate from the region of Tamil Nadu, in southeast Asia, and is reminiscent of the artistic traditions of the Thanjavur school. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of India during this period, showcasing the diversity of occupations, from the tea seller and snake charmer to the travelers and customers at the refreshment stall. It is a reminder of the vibrant and intriguing history of India and the rich cultural traditions that continue to influence the world today.
