Purple Bird 'Lady With The Fish' Kalighat Pat Artwork (Unframed) 12" x 14"

In the vibrant world of Kalighat Pat paintings, let's bring to life the captivating scene of a lady skilfully cutting fish on a boti. With nimble hands and focused determination, she embodies the essence of everyday life captured in the babu bibi series. As her deft movements choreograph a dance of precision, the rhythmic sound of the blade against the fresh catch resonates with the pulse of her community. Adorned in shimmering gold jewellery and delicate anklets, she carries herself with a quiet dignity. A key, tied to her waist, symbolises her role as the keeper of hearth and home, entrusted with the secrets and treasures of her family. Through the strokes of the artist's brush, we glimpse into a world where simplicity meets artistry, where the mundane is transformed into the extraordinary. In this timeless tableau, the lady becomes a symbol of resilience, grace, and the unbreakable spirit of Calcutta's tradition.
