Horses have fascinated Indian artists and many have sketched and painted them to capture their movement, rhythm, and dynamism. Horses have featured frequently in Nikhil Biswas’s art and in this painting he combines two of his favourite subjects—the struggle of the ordinary man and the equine, in his preferred monochrome palette. Though ordinary and powerless against the rich and mighty, the human figures in Biswas’s paintings were always depicted as survivors.
