    Amrita Sher-Gil painted more than one portrait of Boris Tachlitzky from 1930 to 1932. Tachlitzky, a left-wing artist, was a fellow student of Sher-Gil in Paris. Art historian Deepak Ananth describes him also as a one-time lover of Sher-Gil. (Deepak Ananth, Amrita Sher-Gil; An Indian Artist Family of the Twentieth Century, Schimer/Mosel, 2007 p.16)
