This painting entails several moods, and can also overwhelm the viewer with joy, serenity, and calm. Here, the artist has captured everything with exquisite detail and light and shade. He encapsulated the different spirits of lotus ponds at different times of the day, that emerge in a single pictorial space. The composition is such as if the artist is opening a façade to the immense beauty of the outdoors, perhaps the ponds, and secluded pockets of Calcutta city, which has been central to Bhattacharya’s art practice.
