Bangali lady with an Alpana in the background

This can be hung as a pair with a similar painting of a South Indian lady.

Instructions for care:

  1. The painting is protected with 2 coats of varnish to seal the colours. Though it is not necessary to have a glass on the surface, having a glass will protect the painting from dust.
  2. Avoid touching or handling the painting to prevent staining. To hold and move your paintings, please handle it by the sides.
  3. Hang the painting in an area that is not exposed to water. Avoid hanging in areas like the bathroom, kitchen or near aquariums.
  4. Avoid hanging in an area that is exposed to direct sunlight, as UV light can damage the pigments and cause the painting to fade.
  5. A safe way to remove dust and light debris is to blow dry all dust particles off the surface or use a damp microfiber cloth with water and gently wipe the surface. Do not use any cleaning chemicals or detergents.
