Sudhir Khastagir (b. 1907 Bangladesh) was a prominent artist and a key figure of the Bengal School of Art. Educated at Visva-Bharati University in Santiniketan under Nandalal Bose and Abanindranath Tagore he made notable contributions to Indian art. His work often in watercolours oils and sculptures reflects a deep connection to Indian mythology women and village life. Central to many of his compositions are women often depicted in reflective poses such as in this lot. His use of rich earthy tones and dynamic brushstrokes brings these scenes to life capturing the delicate interplay of light and shadow.
