    According to the chronology of Abanindranath's paintings prepared by artist Benodebehari Mukherjee and published in the Bengali book 'Chitrakatha', Abanindranath painted a series of portraits in pastel from 1927 onwards and till about 1930. The portraits painted during this phase earned him great critical acclaim . This pastel portrait of Rabindranath Tagore could well have belonged to that period.
