The Artwork
About This Print
This Raghubir Singh print captures the paddy transplanting season on the outskirts of Srinagar in 1983 — women bent to the flooded fields, the Kashmir valley spread behind them, the whole scene held in Singh’s fully saturated color frame. This India color photography image belongs to Singh’s extended Kashmir series, one of the richest bodies of work in Indian documentary photography. As Kashmir paddy photo art, this Raghubir Singh print gives agricultural labor the same compositional dignity and color precision Singh brought to everything he photographed.
Singh’s choice of color over black and white was deliberate and consequential — and this Srinagar wall art shows why. The greens of the rice fields, the blue of the Kashmir sky, the women’s clothing against the flooded earth: this vintage India print is more true in color than it could ever be in monochrome.

After It Arrives
How to Frame & Display Your Print
Four simple steps, tube to wall — no tools, no specialist knowledge.
-
