"A Benares Ghat; On The Steps By The Ganges" is an etching by the notable British artist Ernest Stephen Lumsden (1883–1948), who was renowned for his mastery in the medium of etching and printmaking. Created in 1923, this work captures the essence of the ghats of Varanasi (formerly known as Benares), one of the oldest and most sacred cities in India, situated on the banks of the river Ganges. Lumsden's etching is a reflection of his extensive travels in India and his fascination with its landscapes and culture.

The artwork depicts the bustling activity and the serene spirituality that coexist on the steps leading down to the Ganges. These ghats are historically significant as places of ritual and daily life, where pilgrims come to perform religious ceremonies, bathe in the holy waters, and engage in meditation and prayer. Lumsden's attention to detail and his ability to convey the texture and atmosphere of the scene are evident in the intricate lines and varied tones of the etching.

Ernest Stephen Lumsden was part of the early 20th-century etching revival and is often celebrated for his technical skill and artistic sensitivity. "A Benares Ghat; On The Steps By The Ganges" is a testament to his ability to blend his Western artistic perspective with the rich visual tapestry of Eastern life. The etching is not only a work of fine art but also an important historical record of the cultural and religious life in India during the British Raj.

This piece is part of Lumsden's larger body of work that documents his travels and experiences in India, which had a profound impact on his artistic output. The etching is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in galleries that specialize in prints and works on paper, contributing to the understanding and appreciation of early 20th-century etching techniques and cross-cultural artistic endeavors.
