The confident brushwork, layered paint, and original surface clearly demonstrate its authenticity.

The reverse retains the original labels from Kala Mandir, Court Road, Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India, along with the Artist & Designer Babu Rathod label, preserving its regional provenance.

In 2016, I invested over $200 to have the painting professionally framed using Tru Vue Museum Glass with 99% UV protection. The artwork is beautifully float-mounted, allowing the original painted board to remain visible while creating a sophisticated gallery presentation. The contemporary matte black metal frame complements the artwork without distracting from it.

After recently downsizing my home, I've made the difficult decision to part with this special painting. Rather than keeping it stored away, I would much rather see it displayed and appreciated. I truly believe my mother-in-law would be happy knowing it has found a new home with someone who loves original art as much as she did.
