Created by Marlet et Cie and featured in L'Inde Francais, this print showcases the skilled craftsmanship of male fabric painters at work. The scene unfolds on a rooftop where these talented artisans are seated, fully immersed in their occupation. With intense focus and precision, they delicately paint colorful patterns onto exquisite fabrics. Their expertise is evident as they effortlessly transform plain textiles into works of art. Surrounded by buildings that bear witness to the bustling textile industry of the time, these men represent a vital part of India's rich cultural heritage.
