This print comes from the original drawing of ‘Jagai Madhai’ which now resides in the collection of the Indian Museum of Kolkata.
As per Partha Mitter, ‘It is another of the great technical triumphs of the artist and the school. Firm anatomical drawing, the strokes that in their thousands make hair, the definite and harmonious patterning of the turban.’ (P. Mitter, Art and Nationalism in Colonial India, 1850-1922: Occidental Orentations, Cambridge University Press, 1994, p.323).

‘Jagai Madhai’ are two characters of Vaishnava narrative, these two were born into a high Brahmin family but to bad associations fell prey to various vices. Eventually they were embraced and forgiven by the Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
This work is Bose’s early phase work, wheres subject grabbing the center stage in the foreground and the background is plane to enhancing their presence.
Provenance : Collection of a Gentleman
