Nature's Orchard

In 'Nature’s Orchard', Jaggu Prasad composes a still life that quietly defies convention. A cluster of ripe fruits—mango, cherry, pear, and a sprig of tender leaves—rest not upon a table or cloth as is the ususal way, but on a weathered stone ledge, almost sculptural in its presence. This unexpected setting transforms the scene from mere observation into allegory: nature reclaiming what is hers, life balanced delicately on the edge between cultivation and wilderness. The fruits, rendered with exquisite luminosity, seem to breathe in the silence of the dark backdrop. The stone beneath them becomes both pedestal and paradox—cold and unyielding, yet chosen by the artist as nature’s unlikely cradle.

This 15.7 x 14.1 inch watercolour on paper invites contemplation rather than certainty, a work for those who find poetry in contradiction and a hidden meaning in all displays.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

• Handcrafted by Jaggu Prasad ji, celebrated for his precise, soulful portrayals of nature
• A luminous exploration of still life — where stone and fruit create a dialogue between permanence and vitality
• Miniature scale makes it a refined piece of quiet beauty for curated interior
