The Mithila woman is the figure at the heart of Madhubani art, painted for a wedding, a gift or a wall. The nine pictures show a bride in a red sari seated in a palanquin, a village woman in profile carrying a water pot, and a woman in a yellow sari among tall flowers. Each comes in bright colour, line only, or earth colours. Type a direction such as bride and groom, and the folk style carries it.

Frequently asked questions

What do the nine pictures show?
Three scenes: a bride in a palanquin, a village woman carrying a water pot with birds on a branch above, and a woman in a yellow sari holding a lotus among flowers.
How do the three styles differ?
Bright colour uses flat colour fills with dense dots and leaves, line only uses fine hatched ink in two inks on cream, and earth colours use natural tones on buff paper.
Can I ask for a different figure or colour?
Yes. Type the change as a direction, such as bride and groom or Holi. It is a request for that look, not a promised result.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
