    Amrita Sher-Gil painted this work in 1937. Inspiration of miniature painting traditions is patent in this work. The female body in repose laden with a passive sexuality is emerging as a favourite subject of the artist. Sher Gil is also well on her way to evolving a fresh genre of domestic scenes.
