Flight of the Unruly Bull
Mahaveer Swami
Description
Flight of the Unruly Bull is a burst of motion captured in a single, playful moment. Mahaveer Swami paints the powerful bull with stretched limbs and lifted tail, its body leaning forward in full stride. The horns arc confidently while the wide eyes add a spark of spirited defiance. At the end of the rope, a determined man is pulled across the ground as he tries to regain control, creating a lively contrast between strength and struggle. Every contour of the bull’s form is shaped with fine strokes and soft pigments that bring out depth, weight and dramatic energy.
The scene is supported by gentle ground textures and small clusters of foliage that anchor the action without distracting from it. Two birds glide overhead in calm counterpoint to the running figure below, giving the composition an airy balance. The layered handmade paper adds richness to the background, and the subtle touches of pure gold ink highlight select details with a warm, refined glow.
It is a miniature full of character, storytelling and movement.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- A vibrant and expressive scene filled with natural motion
- Fine detailing that brings depth to both the bull and the running figure
- Pure gold ink adds gentle highlights without overpowering the composition
- Perfect for collectors who appreciate narrative-driven miniature painting
