Durbhikkha: Scroll

Subject

Kangal-er Gaan [Penniless Songs]

Description

The choukopata (square scroll) accompanying the poem is painted by Dukhushyam in his inimitable style, perhaps one of few contemporary scroll painters who still insist on the tradition of working directly on paper with colours, without any need for pencilled outlines.
