From the depiction of Hindu gods, god, and other mythological characters, the Kalighat paintings developed to reflect a variety of subjects, including many depictions of everyday life. Kalighat Paintings were first painted on the paper using the natural and homemade dyes. During its manifestation, in the earlier days, it was a community effort. The family members or the community members, would sit together and ground the ingredients to make the dyes, colors and some would draw the outlines of the main figures in the painting and while others would work on the backdrop. The distinct feature of these paintings are the big eyes of the main figures and the colors used are prominently the primary colors like yellow, blue, green, etc. This Bengal Art comes from Midnapore from the family of Laltu Chitrakar. A wonderful painting for the discerning decor aficionado and art lover or a gift for someone interested in storytelling tradition. These are priceless collectibles.
