SSEA
One of sixteen paintings of castes and occupations. The backgrounds are all plain with no clouds. The set appears to include drawings by two hands; one group with plain blue backgrounds, the other dull yellow; this one of a Malabar doctor and his wife; the man, in white, with a bag under his arm, the woman in a red tie-and-dye sari; against a blue background.
Have a concern, a correction, or something to add?
