Description
PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE UNABLE TO CONFIRM THAT THE INSCRIPTION ON THE SIDE OF THE FRAME IS BY AMRITA SHER-GIL,
A small oil on canvas of Punjabi villagers seated under a tree at night-time,
Punjab, first half 20th century,
inscribed Amrita Sher-Gil (1913-1941) to gilt wood frame,
canvas cut down,
approx 13 x 19cm.
Note:
Often referred to as India's Frida Kahlo for aesthetically blending traditional and Western art forms, Amrita Sher-Gil was one of the most famous painters of India. She is also considered as a revolutionary woman artist and the originator of modern art in India.
There are a very limited number of works made by Sher-Gil before her sudden and untimely demise at the age of 28. In total, 172 paintings have been documented and of those, 95 are in the permanent collection of museums and institutions within India, notably the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi, and will never be allowed to leave the country.
