In 1929, when the Sher-Gil family arrived in Paris, Amrita Sher-Gil and her sister Indira were enrolled at the Ecole Normale des Musique founded by Alfred Cortot. Although, Amrita soon gave up her piano lessons, she remained passionately attracted to music. This portrait of the great music teacher and musician may have been done soon after she joined Ecole des Beaux Arts, her art school in Paris.
