Surangama was the character of a maid in Rabindranath Tagore's play 'Raja' written in 1910-11. It was staged soon after at the family stage at Jorasanko, Kolkata. Abanindranath's portrait is not the likeness of a real person, but the imagined depiction of a character in a play. It is possible that the painting could have been made at the same time when the play was screened.
