Dimensions: 15.25x14 inch. sight 5.25x4.25 inch In the style of Jamini Roy’s ‘Santhal Girl’ is this watercolor painting, where the artist embraces Bengali and tribal art influences. The artist, features a Santhal woman, painted in firm lines with a hint of stylization showcasing modernist 20th century Indian art. The unkown Santhal woman, a member of an indigenous community in Eastern India, draped in a simple cotton sari is engaged in a daily chore. She is shown returning after filling her clay pot with water for using in her home. This artwork celebrates and depicts India's rural and indigenous community, showcasing an eternal beauty and the artist's unique style that fuses minimal watercolor brush strokes with tribal elements. The painting showcases the figure in a shallow body of water against a hazy, atmospheric background Framed in a tonal, custom ‘receding’ (or reverse profile frame) wood frame with museum quality non reflective glass. the inner edge of the frame is higher than the outer edge, sloping downwards towards the wall. This specific profile creates an optical illusion that draws the eye inward and pushes the artwork visually forward. This style of receding frame is distinct and shifts the viewer’s focus to the art. Sourced from a private estate in Kolkata, India. The previous owner purchased this painting from the artist in May 1985, from the Birla Academy of Art and Culture in Southern Kolkata
