A beautiful vintage Indian devotional print titled “Bansi-Lila”, depicting Shri Krishna and Radha seated together on a traditional swing beneath a flowering tree, beside a serene riverside landscape.
The composition is especially attractive for its rich period colours, detailed jewellery and garments, Krishna’s peacock-feather crown, and the intimate portrayal of Radha-Krishna. The artwork carries its original printed title in multiple scripts along the lower margin.
Most importantly, the original publisher and printing details remain visible:
Published by – Art Framing Co.
37-8, Harrison Road, Calcutta
Gaya Art Press, Calcutta
These surviving publisher details give the piece strong period character and make it especially interesting for collectors of early Indian calendar art, devotional prints and vintage Calcutta-printed ephemera.

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.
