Peacock Sheet, Watercolor Madhubani Painting on Canvas

This striking Madhubani painting depicts a magnificent peacock, a creature deeply revered in Indian culture. Symbolizing beauty, grace, and integrity, the peacock is often associated with royalty and auspiciousness. Here, its form is rendered with the iconic visual language of Madhubani art, featuring distinct double-line borders, dense decorative filling, and characteristically stylised almond eyes, imbuing the bird with a sense of vibrant majesty.

Created by artist Krishna Joshi from Gujarat, this original work employs watercolor on a resilient canvas sheet. Madhubani art, also known as Mithila painting, originates from the Mithila region of Bihar where it was traditionally painted by women on freshly plastered mud walls and floors for significant occasions like weddings and festivals. This ancient tradition transitioned to handmade paper in the 1960s, allowing artists to translate its intricate aesthetic from monumental murals to portable works. The piece showcases the style's hallmark dense patterning, leaving no space empty, often utilising either the bold colour fill of the bharni style or the fine line work of kachni.

This 'Beautiful Of Peacock' is a singular, one of a kind original artwork, not a reproduction print, ensuring its unique place in your collection. It ships accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity and includes the convenience of free insured delivery across India.
