Kalighat Folk Art Cat Deity Diptych

Traditional Indian Kalighat folk art painting with bold black outlines and vibrant colors on textured aged paper. Two panels divided by decorative green pillars. Left panel: A majestic white cat deity seated in meditation pose (lotus position) on a yellow cushion, depicted in the style of Lord Shiva. The cat has three eyes (including third eye on forehead), matted fur resembling dreadlocks, wearing a green and blue patterned scarf, beaded necklaces, and decorative markings on the paws. The cat holds up a colorful object in one raised paw. Red background with white vertical stripes. Right panel: A golden-yellow mother cat with large almond-shaped eyes and red lips, wearing a brown sari with yellow polka dots and green borders. She cradles a small white kitten with elephant-like features (representing Ganesha) - the kitten has cat ears but an elephant trunk, seated on her lap. Both figures have traditional red tilak markings on their foreheads. Red background. Bold outlines, flat perspective, earthy color palette (red, yellow, green, white, brown), naive folk art aesthetic. Small handwritten signature "Fotkelis" at the bottom.
