Nandalal Bose’s cartoon shows a colourful cast of characters from the Bichitra Studio seated in the south veranda of Jorasanko. Abanindranath, Samarendranath (1870 – 1951), and Gaganendranath (1867 – 1938) laze in the background, while the critic A.K.M. Coomaraswamy (1877 – 1947) debates some finer points with the artist himself. Abanindranath and Gaganendranath formed the Indian Society of Oriental Art in 1907, which gave a great impetus to their new experiments with Indian art. Alongside the male-dominated spaces of cultural encounter, his sisters, Sunayani and Binayani were coming into their own as exemplary artists. Skilled at music and embroidery, the sisters created their own visual language in painting.
