Beauty in Mirror: Kalighat Art by Bapi Chitrakar

Bapi Chitrakar portrays a serene and intimate moment of a woman’s daily routine. The central focus of the composition is a graceful woman, elegantly draped in a lush green saree, adding a touch of vibrancy to the scene. With utmost concentration, the woman gathers her long, ebony hair in her nimble fingers, carefully tying it into a traditional hairstyle. The mirror’s surface frames her reflection, allowing the viewer to appreciate the intricacies of her hair and the drape of her saree. The rich colours of the green saree and the deep black of her hair contrast beautifully with the mirror’s gilded frame, creating a visually captivating tableau. The artwork celebrates the artistry in mundane moments, reminding us that even the most ordinary acts can hold a deep and lasting aesthetic charm.
