Description

A PAINTING OF TWO RECLINING LADIES, BENGAL, 19TH-20TH CENTURY

India. Opaque pigments and gilt on paper. Finely painted to depict two young ladies seated comfortably on a sofa, sensuously dressed in translucent silk garments that subtly reveal their feminine forms. Their attire richly adorned with golden details and complemented by bracelets, necklaces, and other pieces of jewelry embellishing their bodies. The interior elegantly decorated with a carpet bearing an acanthus leaf scrolling pattern, various wall moldings, and a large flowing pink curtain framing the composition.

Provenance: Collection of Günter Heil, Berlin, Germany, acquired around 1980 and thence by descent. Günter Heil (1938-2014) was a designer who established his graphic studio in Berlin and designed many advertisements for 8mm and 16mm film distributor Bruno Schmidt in the 1960s. His work emerged during the same period in which the well-known distribution label Atlas Films was supplying art-house cinemas and commissioning prominent designers such as Hans Hillmann, Hans Michel, Günther Kieser, Wolfgang Schmidt, and Karl Oskar Blase. He was an avid collector of Asian art who assembled an impressive collection of Indian and Himalayan sculpture, ritual objects, and paintings.
Condition: Good condition with wear, light browning, few small losses to the edges, and expected minor fading, as well as little flaking to the pigments with associated touchups.

Dimensions: 30.2 x 25.4 cm (excl. mat), 40.7 x 30.7 cm (incl. mat)

Mounted on a modern passepartout. (2)

The Sundari images in early Bengal art served as pin-ups for gentrified audiences but had a dark history. When satipratha was banned in the nineteenth century, innumerable widowed women of the Hindu faith were forced to fend for themselves after being cast out of their homes. During this time, watercolor Kalighat pats, early Bengal oil paintings, and popular prints documented social changes influenced by the colonial British administration, often through visual metaphors or stereotypes. These Sundaris were most likely widows who had learned the arts of performance, music, dance, and seduction—not out of choice, but out of survival.
