Haren Das was a prominent printmaker and master of academic naturalism, and unlike his contemporaries who were moving away from realism, he remained faithful to this style throughout his artistic career. In this woodcut on paper, a woman draped in a thin white saree stands under the thatched roof of a house. The artist uses the vocabulary of academic naturalism to represent her form—she poses in a deliberately sexualized manner, reminiscent of conventional model studies.
