Profile of a Woman

Rabindranath Tagore’s lexicon of art was the sum of his influences as he travelled around the world, and his late foray into an artistic career served up a surprising yield by way of modernist works that helped the evolution of a new style of art practice in the country. This is a side profile of a woman’s face with no particularities to identify it. Instead, the artist has chosen to depict the work in surrealistic colours and vivid brushstrokes that seem to sum up the entire context of the painting.
