Description

Appears to be professionally mounted in frame. I did open up the back of the frame as I was going to use the frame for something else, but the artwork is in tact. The 3rd photo is attached to the back of the art work/painting. This is not a reprint and appears to be original on special paper. Google lens search states traditional Indian folk art painting, likely in the Madhubani style, known for its intricate patterns and depiction of daily life, mythology, and nature. These paintings often feature symbolic elements like trees, animals, and human figures, arranged in a visually rich and detailed composition. The artwork is framed, suggesting it is a decorative piece intended for display.

What does this mean?

Hello, this item is an original Mithila (Madhubani) painting, likely executed by Bharti Dayal or Shanti Devi, both recognized artists of the Bihar region in India. The composition features traditional elements of Mithila art, including symmetrical architecture, tree motifs, and narrative vignettes depicting animals, human figures, and scenes of rural or mythological life. The piece employs the characteristic earthy palette of browns, blacks, and ochres, drawn with fine linework and filled with intricate cross-hatching and geometric detailing typical of the Kayastha and Brahmin school of Mithila painting.

The painting measures 21.75 x 30 inches and is mounted in a professional frame. It appears to be an original work on handmade paper, not a print, and is in excellent condition. Given its size, execution quality, and stylistic refinement, comparable examples by Bharti Dayal typically range between 700 and 1,200 USD.
