A charming vintage Indian family print depicting an elegant domestic scene of a father, mother and young daughter sharing a quiet moment together. The gentleman is shown seated in formal attire reading a document or newspaper, while the mother and child stand beside him, creating a warm representation of family life from an earlier era.
One of the most interesting features of this piece is its original printed caption “A HPPY FAMILY”, retaining the spelling exactly as it appears on the artwork. Beneath the image are the printed merchant details:
“Kanhiyalal Lachhu Mal, Picture Merchants, Chandni Chowk, Delhi”
with corresponding Hindi text printed on the opposite side. These original inscriptions add significant period character and make the print especially appealing to collectors of vintage Indian commercial prints, old Delhi ephemera and early popular wall art.
The composition retains beautiful period colours, with the gentleman in a dark suit, the lady in a richly coloured sari and the child in a bright pink dress. The decorative printed border surrounding the image further enhances its old-world presentation.
The artwork is preserved in an old wooden frame and shows natural ageing throughout, including staining, discolouration, creasing and wear to the paper and frame. These imperfections are clearly visible and form part of the authentic vintage character of the piece.

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.
