Goddess Laksmi 1878-1883 West Bengal, Calcutta Lakshmi the divine bearer of abundance, prosperity and wealth, is an expression of Indias ancient fertility goddess Sri, from whom life itself emerges. She is closely associated with water and harvest, evoked here in the gold vessel she rests on her thigh, and the sheaf of wheat that she displays. She sits on a rocky outcrop overlooking a lotus pond with aquatic plants at her feet and abundant wheat fields behind that recede into the mists of the distant mountains.

A cornucopia-like display of seashells, motifs likely borrowed from European natural history engravings, underscore her association with water. Laksmi holds the promise of material fulfilment and contentment. This image served as the first picture from a folio issued by the Calcutta Art Studio in 1883 as “Fifteen Hinduu Mythological Pictures.”. Goddess Laksmi. West Bengal, Calcu
