This striking image of a Bengali woman was apparently first published by a Greek tobacconist based in Kolkata, Nestor Gianaclis, and later also published in different variations by D. Macropolo & Co., also a tobacco manufacturer and retailer with connections to Egypt from where premium tobacco was acquired in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
