Original Painting on Canvas - 12 inches

Step into a world where elegance met heritage with “Queens of Yesterday”, a stunning 10x12 inch hand-painted canvas that brings alive the grace and spirit of womanhood in old-world Kolkata.

This vibrant artwork captures three poised and adorned women, their features highlighted in bold folk-art style with expressive eyes, radiant attire, and intricate jewellery. The central figure holds a traditional hand fan (haath-pakha), a gentle nod to the elegance of pre-electric era living. Behind them, the pièce de résistance is a colorful stained-glass arched window, reminiscent of classic Kolkata homes—now a vanishing slice of architectural history.

The bright colors, swirling patterns, and symmetrical detailing together evoke a sense of cultural richness and nostalgia. Every brushstroke is a tribute to Indian femininity, timeless beauty, and craftsmanship.
This painting is more than just decor—it's a story of sisterhood, tradition, and the quiet strength of women through the lens of art. Let it grace your space and spark conversations. This painting tells a quiet, powerful story — of elegance, history, and womanhood, wrapped in color and form. A beautiful piece for anyone who treasures the blend of art and legacy.
