Babu Bibi
A couple gets intimate and romantic while spending time together. As a part of a story telling about the regular, day to day life, this piece of art makes for a sweet romantic tale. Such paintings, accompanied by songs, in olden days of no television serials, would serve the purpose of entertainment to the village women. They would listen to the stories sung by the Pata Shilpis and laugh and cry, and become one with the characters. This one is done by a young artist Rajesh Chitrakar.
Shiva
Lord Shiva has always been a much sought after figure of Patachitra, as these paintings, when done on the back of clay saucers instead of papers, are used in the place of clay idols of deities and are worshipped in the household of many common Bengali people. This is also quite an old piece of art done by Bahadur Chitrakar.
