About this work

This painting shows three people in bright colors against a striped background. A woman in a long pink skirt stands holding a ball, while two children reach toward her. The woman’s face is simple and bold, with big eyes and a headscarf. The kids wear short dresses, and the scene looks like a moment frozen in time. The background has floating objects like a basket and plates, adding a dreamy feel. The colors are flat with no shading, giving it a folk-art look. Look up bihar state, mithila or madhubani school to see more art like this.
