Cluck and Comfort II (Reimagined)

In this second rendition of Cluck and Comfort II, Jaggu Prasad revisits a familiar corner of his painted world, the same rustic stable where chickens and rabbits coexist in domestic ease, yet infuses it with a subtle shift in energy and meaning. The scene may appear nearly identical at first glance: the gentle rabbits poised on the wooden platform, the hens pecking at crisp cabbage leaves, the scattered vegetables glowing in quiet abundance. But look closer, and the rhythm changes—the light softens, the shadows deepen, and the composition feels calmer, more contemplative, as if the morning bustle of the first version has yielded to an afternoon hush. By painting two nearly twin versions, Prasad invites us to witness the delicate nuances of perception—how the same setting can hold different moods, different silences, depending on the hour, the gesture, or the gaze. This is not repetition, but reflection: a meditation on familiarity itself, and how beauty lives in its variations.

This 9.7 x 13.5 inch watercolour on paper reveals the artist’s quiet fascination with the everyday, his impulse not merely to depict, but to listen to life’s subtleties until they transform into art.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

• Handcrafted by Jaggu Prasad ji, celebrated for his precise, soulful portrayals of wildlife
• A powerful narrative of family and instinct captured in exceptional detail and tenderne
• A compact yet radiant composition, ideal for collectors who value intimacy and serenity in art
