I saw this interesting statute on my way in the city of Kolkata.
Just had the time for a quick click as i was passing by in my car. A man with his hands on his chin in a sad thinking pose. Wonder who he is? Is he a Brit from the colonial past or a Bengali from recent past ? Is he a philosopher, a politician??
May be on my next trip I should checkout...
Hello :=)
ReplyDeleteWithout reading what is written under the small bust sculpture it's impossible to know, but at a guess I would think that because of it's location, perhaps the man in question had something to do with the community, a philanthropist perhaps!
Thank you for passing by, have a good day.
Good guess..i hope I get my answer on the next visit
DeleteIt is probably a privileged brat from the earlier times.
ReplyDeleteCould be roentare...i am curious to know :)
DeleteAt first glance, I thought it was a statue of Shivaji Ganesan—a look from his early days in cinema.
ReplyDeleteI don't know either...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful capture
ReplyDeleteInteresting, you will have to go back and read the plaque.
ReplyDeleteWell sculpted.
ReplyDeleteThere's a little project for you. Nicely captured though.
ReplyDeleteWhoever he is, he has given up.
