"Goddess Matangi" (1865-1895), a hand-painted watercolor by Sasadhar Banarjee, depicts the Hindu goddess Matangi seated on a throne in a landscape setting. The image shows Matangi with four arms, holding a rosary, a sword, a trident, and a scroll. This depiction is characteristic of the "Kalighat" style of painting, a popular form of devotional art in 19th century Calcutta. The artwork is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
