This artwork features a striking bird, possibly a Myna, positioned against a flat green backdrop framed by a slim ochre border. The bird is illustrated with bold, crisp lines and solid blocks of color. Its plumage is a deep brown, complemented by a black head, vivid yellow eye patch, and matching yellow talons. In its beak, it holds a white-winged dragonfly, while another dragonfly hovers above, both stylized with a rhythmic, patterned wing design. The flat, unshaded color treatment and precise outlines give the work a folk-art quality, reminiscent of Indian miniature traditions blended with a contemporary graphic sensibility. The composition is minimal yet dynamic, using color contrast and positioning to create a sense of life and immediacy.
