Description

This exquisite Madhubani painting captures the majestic peacock, a beloved symbol across Indian culture, embodying grace, beauty, and even mystical associations with rain and the deity Kartikeya. In this masterwork, the artist renders the peacock with the distinctive Madhubani aesthetic: its elegant form is defined by precise double-line borders, while its intricate plumage is densely filled with colour, a signature of the bharni style, ensuring no space remains empty and imbuing the bird with a striking presence.

Created by a master folk artist using acrylic on paper, this painting beautifully continues the Madhubani tradition. Originating in the Mithila region of Bihar, this art form was traditionally practiced by women, adorning freshly plastered mud walls and floors for ceremonies and festivals. From the 1960s, the tradition adapted to handmade paper, enabling its intricate visual language, characterized by stylised motifs of nature, double-line borders, and dense infilling often seen alongside iconic almond eyes in human or animal figures, to flourish beyond its original context.

This is a one of a kind original painting, not a print. It ships with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, affirming its unique provenance and artistic merit. We are pleased to offer complimentary insured delivery across India for this exceptional piece.
