Scenes of Simplicity Collection
A quiet glimpse into everyday life in 19th-century India, Scenes of Simplicity is a set of six framed prints that capture moments both humble and human. From water carriers and drummers to early morning rituals and a colonial officer’s elaborate dressing routine, each artwork tells its own story of routine, rhythm, and quiet dignity.
At the heart of the set is “The Young Civilian’s Toilet”, a richly detailed scene that blends humor with history, showing a young British officer surrounded by attendants—a reminder of the layered realities of colonial India. Surrounding it are portraits of individuals going about their daily lives, set against landscapes dotted with palm trees, thatched roofs, and grand colonial buildings.
These prints are printed on a fine quality ivory paper.
These are reproductions of old illustrations & in most cases will have the same imperfections as the original.
