Leaf from a Kalighat album: Woman Playing Music (recto); Krishna Stroking Radha's Feet (verso)

Recto side shows a woman playing music; she sits on a white cloth with her right leg bent and resting on the floor while her left leg is bent and pointing upwards. The woman's skin is brown; she wears a green blouse with short sleeves, a red sari with white designs; she has a string of pearls around her neck and bracelets on her wrists and upper arms; she has a bindi on her forehead and a nose ring; she plays a stringed instrument. Recto side background shows a yellow wall with green curtains across the top, and a blue lantern hanging; the floor is brown. Verso side shows a man and a woman; the man kneels on one knee and holds the woman's foot; the woman stands with one leg bent and resting on the man's thigh; she wears a red sari; the man wears a dhoti; the man has blue skin; the background shows a tree.
