Description

This poignant watercolor by Pramod Kumar captures a moment of quiet resilience in an urban street setting, where two barefoot children engage in acts of daily survival. The seated child tends to a small stove and pot, suggesting improvised cooking, while the standing figure holds a bowl, both rendered with tender realism and emotional gravity. Muted tones and soft brushwork evoke a somber atmosphere, with a textured wall and streetlamp framing the scene in subdued light. Pramod’s sensitivity to social nuance and his mastery of watercolor lend the composition a documentary intimacy, transforming a fleeting moment into a meditation on childhood, hardship, and human dignity.
