"A Music-party," Plate LXIX., is an example of the popular art of the present day, founded on the old traditions, which has nearly succumbed to the debasing influences of modern Indian life. There is an artistic quality in this picture which, in spite of the crudeness of the drawing, makes it infinitely more delightful than any of the Anglicised and commercialised Indian art, sometimes more sophisticated, but always insincere, and therefore worthless, which is supplanting it.
