Description

Bring home this iconic Kalighat painting of Balkrishna and Yashoda milking a cow — a beloved scene from Bengali folk art tradition that celebrates the divine bond between mother and child, rendered in the bold, expressive brushwork that made Kalighat pat unique in Indian art history.

This striking composition features the blue-skinned infant Krishna seated in the lap of Yashoda, who is milking a majestic white cow adorned with a red bridle. The painting showcases the hallmark Kalighat style — sweeping brushstrokes in deep indigo blue, vivid vermilion red, and jet black outlines against a warm cream background. The figures are rendered with the characteristic rounded forms, bold eyes, and minimal yet expressive detail that define this 19th-century Bengali folk art tradition. The cow stands protectively above the pair, its soft blue-white body creating a canopy of tenderness over the domestic scene.

Kalighat paintings originated near the Kalighat Kali Temple in Kolkata during the 19th century, created by patuas (scroll painters) who migrated from rural Bengal. These artisans developed a distinctive style using broad, fluid brushstrokes and natural dyes, depicting mythological narratives, daily life, and social commentary. Today, Kalighat pat is recognised as one of India's most important folk art traditions, collected by museums worldwide including the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Indian Museum, Kolkata.
