Description

An Indian Painting of a Woman Chasing a Cat Thief, Punjab Hills, Kangra, 1800-1820
1800-1820年 印度旁遮普山丘岡格拉派細密畫《逐貓圖》

India, Punjab Hills, Kangra, 1800-1820


Opaque watercolor on paper.
Depicts a lady chasing a tabby cat with a bleeding parrot in its mouth, holding a stick in her right hand and the parrot's empty cage behind her. The scene is derived from poetry, the parrot symbolizing the woman's lover and the cat symbolizing her rival. A similar Kangra painting is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum (accession no. IS.140-1955).
岡格拉畫派是帕哈里細密畫中的一支地區畫派,盛行于十八-十九世紀末的坎格拉邦,進而散布到整個喜馬拉雅山麓。岡格拉風格的的特點是風景與透視自然,顏色柔和,線條細緻多曲,整體而言,較巴索利繪畫更具詩意。常見的主題是印度詩作和神話,以及山丘部族的族長與其家族肖像。

這幅《逐貓圖》看似表現仕女生活化的一面:灰色狡黠的虎斑貓叼走寵物綠鸚鵡,豹紋褲女子抬手欲打,状似怒極,嘴角卻噙著笑容,兩百年前的貓奴,於今別無二致。其實別具深意——鸚鵡象徵女子的愛人,貓咪象徵情敵。參見英國維多利亞阿爾伯特博物馆所藏相似畫作,編號IS.140-1955。
