Women Drawing WaterIn this Madhubani painting executed on handmade paper, a group of women are seen drawing water from the village well. The very theme of the painting indicates the domestic origin of this famous art form. In rural India, women go all the distance to the community well, at times walking for miles, to get water. This is not only a daily household duty for them, but also a point of respite. Away from the confines of the four walls, they are free to have their own time. Madhubani Painting is a spontaneous expression of the women of Bihar. It plays with colors and lines depicting glimpses of the world from a feminine point of view. Earthen colors of red, yellow, orange, brown and black brighten the bejeweled figures in profile. Humble wares of the world of women like the pots and pitchers have been drawn in detail.
