Sobre el cuadro
Gaganendranath Tagore (1867-1938) was a satirical cartoonist and painter. Born in Calcutta, Gaganendranath grew up in a family whose exceptional creativity spearheaded Calcutta's cultural scene. Gaganendranath was nephew of poet Rabindranath Tagore and brother of Abanindranath Tagore, the pioneer and leading exponent of the Bengal School of Art.
The artist has depicted a sombre painting in greys and black with touches of red paint. The long funeral procession silhouetted in black and grey with torches and the draped bier in red, fade away down a street of tall buildings while tall industrial chimneys exude smoke and flame above. The gloomy watercolour is reminiscent of British painter Lawrence Stephen Lowry.

Interestingly, the watercolour is initialled by the artist and printed with a seal of two lotus feet in red ink. The seal is reminiscent of Vishnu footprint sectarian stamp. Sectarian seals or stamps of this type are associated with the worship of Vishnu or his incarnations, Rama and Krishna, and their consorts.
