Still & Beautiful

In the hush of a sunlit gulmohar, a baby-pink songbird perches with its back to us, head tilted just enough to reveal a ruby eye and an orange beak tipped in ink-black. Light green leaves, veined like old lace, cradle clusters of yellow-ripe and jade-green fruits; the bird’s nape glimmers with a whisper of sky-blue, as if dawn itself has settled there. What secret horizon holds its gaze? This iconic painting recreated by Jaggu Prasad from the orginal by Linda Van Someren, a 20th century South African painter, is a homage to her skill and a display of his own. This solitary sentinel invites us to pause, to wonder if stillness can be a form of vigilance, tenderness a quiet guardianship over the ripening world.

Handcrafted by Jaggu Prasad ji – a master of Miniature art. This delightful 13x17 inch artwork, hand-painted with water colours on paper, is perfect for intimate corners or contemplative desks.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

• Its trompe-l’œil watercolor layers create near-tangible plumage and dewy fruit skins with microscopic precision.
• At 13x17 inches, it slips effortlessly above a reading nook or beside a window, inviting daily reverence.
• A tender emblem of watchful grace, ideal for gifting to those who cherish quiet beauty and cultural miniature legacy.

Let “Still and Beautiful” bring a breath of watchful serenity to your collection.
