This handcoloured lithograph titled "Jeune fille indoue de la haute classe" depicts a young high-class Indian woman adorned in traditional attire. The print is part of Auguste Wahlen's "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde," published in 1844. This lithograph utilizes handcolouring techniques to enhance the vividness and detail of the traditional Indian saree, which is characterized by its bright pink and green hues and intricate draping style. The saree, a timeless symbol of Indian femininity, is elegantly wrapped, showcasing the elaborate textile craftsmanship of India. The woman's jewelry, including bangles and necklaces, reflects the cultural importance of adornments in Indian society, often indicating social status and personal wealth. This print is captivating due to its rich depiction of cultural attire and the graceful demeanor of the woman, which together illustrate the refined aesthetic and social codes of India's upper class during the 19th century. The lithograph not only serves as a beautiful piece of art but also as an important cultural document that provides insights into the traditional attire and societal norms of historical India.
