A highly reserved person, Abani Sen created paintings that were tender and warm. Capturing a priceless moment shared by the members of a family, this Untitled work conveys a sense of intimacy, celebrating the bonds that help families face life together. It’s a cherished moment of this humble family of four that is captured by the artist—the mother feeding her infant; the other two members, her husband and her other son, gathered around her. Though heart-warming, the painting also effectively conveys the vulnerability of the family.
