Shri Shri Lakshmi
Not on view
Lakshmi enthroned on lotus, with a radiate solar halo, cornucopia-like bundle of wheat and toga-like sari attesting to the strong connection between this print and European depictions of Greek gods. The buildings in the background juxtapose traditional Bengali temple architecture with the neo-classical European architecture of colonial Calcutta, further amplifying the casting of a traditional deity in neo-classical guise.
