Vintage “Remembrance / Smriti” Indian Lady Portrait Print – Kanhya Lal Lachhu Mal, Chandni Chowk Delhi | 10 × 14 Inches
A beautiful vintage Indian portrait print depicting an elegantly dressed Indian lady seated gracefully in a refined interior setting. The sitter wears a traditional saree with delicate jewellery and flowers in her hair, creating a soft, contemplative and distinctly old-world composition.
The artwork carries the English title “REMEMBERENGE” as printed on the original sheet, along with the Hindi title “स्मृति” (Smriti / Remembrance). One of the most interesting features of this piece is the original printed trade attribution:
“Kanhya Lal Lachhu Mal – Picture Merchants, Chandni Chowk, Delhi.”
This surviving merchant imprint gives the print strong historical and collectible interest, linking it to the traditional picture-print trade of Old Delhi’s Chandni Chowk.
The composition is beautifully detailed with period furniture, decorative vessels, writing materials and finely rendered textiles. The subtle shades of blue, rose, green and ochre give the portrait an elegant vintage character, making it a wonderful decorative as well as collectible artwork.
