Durga Bai learnt the art of 'digna' or the traditional designs of painting on walls and floors during festivals and other occasions, from her mother at a very young age. She began experimenting with different floral patterns and figures, later focusing on depicting the folktales she heard from her grandmother as a child and various tribal deities and goddesses. After marrying Subhash Vyam, the two artists moved to Bhopal together, where their practices were encouraged by Jangarh Singh Shyam. Durga Bai and Subhash Vyam have collaborated on several paintings, including the present lot, an intricately detailed painting of a translucent tiger and a tree full of birds.
