Ear Cleaner In Kalighat by Manoranjan Chitrakar

This striking Kalighat painting by Manoranjan Chitrakar vividly captures a delicate and intimate moment between a woman and a barber, rendered in the distinctive, fluid lines and vibrant colors characteristic of the Kalighat style. The woman, adorned in a peach-colored saree with intricate white detailing, sits gracefully on a chair, her body slightly inclined forward as she submits to the gentle touch of the barber, who is carefully cleaning her ear. Her jewelry, including bangles, anklets, and earrings, gleam subtly, emphasizing her elegance. The barber, dressed in traditional white attire with black stripes, a neatly tied turban, and a sash around his waist, leans attentively, his hands positioned with precision as he performs the meticulous task. The backdrop, framed by rich blue drapes and a simple lamp hanging from above, enhances the intimate indoor setting, lending a theatrical aura to the composition. The striking red border complements the earthy tones, bringing warmth and balance to the artwork. The expressions of both figures—hers, one of serene trust, and his, one of quiet concentration—are beautifully captured, reflecting the nuances of everyday life in 19th-century Bengal. This piece is a testament to the Kalighat style’s ability to transform mundane moments into timeless visual narratives, blending folk themes with a modernist sense of form and movement, making it a remarkable representation of Bengal’s artistic heritage.
