A striking black-and-white serigraph (screenprint) titled "Happy Family," dated 2011 and signed by the artist (Praghanta) in pencil in the lower right corner. The piece is inscribed 1/10 Serigraphy in the lower left.



Composition:
The print depicts four women standing closely together in a warm, affectionate group pose — arms linked and draped around one another's shoulders, all smiling broadly at the viewer. The image is rendered in bold, high-contrast black ink, giving it a graphic, poster-like quality reminiscent of pop art or stencil-style printmaking. Each woman's traditional bindi (forehead dot) has been individually hand-colored in a different bright hue — green, yellow/gold, red, and blue — providing small but vivid pops of color against the monochrome print and drawing the eye to each figure in turn.

Materials & Presentation:

Printed on thick, deckle-edged handmade paper, with the natural torn/rough edges left visible and untrimmed — a hallmark of fine art printmaking papers
The paper shows a soft, warm off-white/cream tone typical of cotton rag or handmade stock
Housed in a clean white "floater" style frame that allows the deckled paper edges to be seen fully within the mat, rather than covering them
Framed under glass or Plexiglas, with standard D-ring hanging hardware and wire on the reverse (kraft paper backing intact) See less
