The composition presents the couple standing together against a calm outdoor landscape, with a lake and greenery in the background. Gandhi is shown in traditional attire with a shawl and cap, while Kasturba is portrayed beside him in a traditional sari. The subdued palette, formal standing pose and decorative blue printed border give the work a distinctive period appearance.
An especially interesting feature of this example is the original publisher and printer information preserved along the lower margin. The print is marked:
Published by – ART FRAMING Co.
37-8, Harrison Road, Calcutta
It also bears the printing credit:
Gaya Art Press, 9, Subal Chandra Lane, Cal.
The opposite side carries the period agent details:
K. Gupta, Silpa-Mandir, 43-3, Amherst Street, Calcutta
The title “MAHATMA GANDHI AND HIS WIFE” remains clearly visible beneath the image together with titles in Indian scripts, making the original printed sheet and its commercial publishing history an important part of the piece.
Presented in an old dark wooden frame, the print retains substantial vintage character. There is visible age-related discolouration and water staining/deterioration along the lower margin, together with smaller marks and general wear. These condition details have been left visible and should be carefully considered from the photographs.

Brass is actually an alloy, not a pure metal. It’s a combination of copper and zinc, and the proportions of these metals determine the colour and properties of the brass. Known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, brass has been used for centuries in everything from musical instruments to household items. Using brass utensils can impart a subtle metallic taste to food, enhancing its flavour profile.
