{"product_id":"weaving-and-spinning-kehar-singh","title":"Weaving and Spinning - Kehar Singh","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed watercolour by Kehar Singh depicting a traditional Indian weaver and a woman spinning thread, representative of the 19th-century Company School.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work by the Indian artist Kehar Singh belongs to the Company School of painting, a style that emerged during the British colonial period. Artists of this movement often produced works for European patrons, documenting local trades, customs, and daily life in India. The composition presents a clear, observational view of two figures engaged in traditional textile production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the left, a male weaver sits at a simple, portable loom constructed from wooden poles. His posture is focused as he manages the warp threads. Beside him, small clay vessels and tools are placed on the ground, providing context to his craft. To the right, a woman operates a spinning wheel, her attention directed toward the thread. Both figures are rendered with a degree of naturalism that characterises the period, capturing the specific details of their attire and the mechanics of their equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe background remains largely empty, a common feature in Company School studies, which prioritises the subject over environmental detail. The artist employs fine, controlled lines to define the structure of the loom and the features of the individuals. The colour palette is restrained, relying on earthy tones for the figures and tools, with subtle blue and red accents in the clothing. This piece functions as a visual record of artisanal practices in the mid-19th century. It avoids idealisation, offering instead a direct representation of the labour involved in spinning and weaving. The inclusion of Persian script at the top identifies the artist and the subject matter, confirming the work's origin within a tradition of documentary art that bridged local techniques with the interests of a foreign audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/tulpen-theo-colenbrander\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eTulpen - Theo Colenbrander — Theo Colenbrander\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kehar Singh","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58916293706063,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58916297736527,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58916297769295,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58916297802063,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58916297834831,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58916297867599,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58916297900367,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58916297933135,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58916297965903,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58916297998671,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58916298031439,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58916298064207,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Weaving-and-Spinning_Poster_CompositorV1_1790683746688.jpg?v=1790686218","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/weaving-and-spinning-kehar-singh","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
