Brahmin With Two Tigers – Kalighat Painting

Brahmin with Two Tigers captures the wit and visual drama that define Kalighat painting, one of Bengal’s most iconic folk art traditions. This artwork portrays a composed Brahmin flanked by two fierce tigers—a scene rich with irony, symbolism, and storytelling. The bold lines, flowing brushwork, and flat yet expressive colours reflect the spontaneous style of 19th-century Kalighat patuas, who blended social satire with devotional imagery.

Restored and enhanced for modern display, this contemporary reproduction preserves the original spirit while adding clarity and balance. A striking piece for collectors of Indian folk art and cultural history.
