The painting featured here is a hand-painting done on velvet cloth. This contemporary form of painting is difficult, as mixing subtle shades and colors in velvet becomes a tough task. This painting depicts a common village scene in India – that of a villager driving his bullock cart with two bulls. Bullock carts are the best mode of transportation in the village, as they can travel through the narrowest and roughest roads with ease.
The background makes it appear like the time of dusk and is shaded beautifully, with various colors, to give the real effect of the time of day. Huge wheels are attached to the cart and the villager is typically seated right in front of the cart, controlling the ropes that connect the bulls to the cart. He places all his luggage in the cart and drives it to his destination.
