This chromolithograph, "Nautch-Dance," was printed in 1889 by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company as part of their "National Dances" series of trading cards. The image depicts a woman in traditional Indian garb performing a Nautch, a type of dance popular in India. The woman's elaborate costume and jewelry, along with the dynamic pose of her body, give the viewer a sense of the beauty and grace of this ancient art form.
