Gorgeous traditional Mithila Painting of a mother elephant and child
Elephants are icons of maternal sentiment and often used in Mithila, Madhubani and Gond paintings to depict this sacred bond.

Extremely detailed.

Size: 27 x 18 cm without the border and 35 x 26 cm with the border
Production of these artworks is very limited. So I tried to take all. I rejected a few - and those had some blank spaces that did not look aesthetically right. In most, there are filler elements that are connected to the main subject symbolically and laid out harmoniously around.
