Europeans being entertained by dancers and musicians in a splendid Indian house in Calcutta (Kolkata) during Durga puja by William Prinsep 1840

Europeans being entertained by dancers and musicians in a splendid Indian house in Calcutta (Kolkata) during Durga puja by William Prinsep 1840
Watercolour of Europeans being entertained by dancers and musicians in a splendid Indian house during Durga puja by William Prinsep (1794-1874) dating from the 1830s-1840s. The subject matter and treatment is rather unlike Prinsep's normal style, and it is possible that this is based on another artist's composition, possibly W.F. Hutchisson's. William Prinsep, a merchant with the Calcutta firm of Palmer & Company, came from a family who had served in India for several generations. Five of his brothers were also in the country.
