This lithograph from 1828, titled "Oil Merchant" offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of 19th-century India. Created by Marlet et Cie and now part of Jean Claude Carriere's esteemed collection, this print depicts an oil merchant in traditional attire. The central figure, a female merchant dressed in a colorful sari, stands proudly amidst her trade. Her intricate dress reflects the rich cultural heritage of India while also hinting at her profession. With grace and confidence, she holds a jar filled with precious oils - her livelihood and source of sustenance. Surrounded by other women and men engaged in various occupations, this scene captures the bustling energy of daily life in Hindoostan during that era. The artist skillfully portrays the diversity and vibrancy of Indian society through his meticulous attention to detail. Through this lithograph, we are transported back to a time when commerce thrived on the streets of India. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece that celebrates the beauty found within everyday life.
