    A face in profile lit by some unknown source of light emerging out of the dark is remarkable for its use of light and dark tones. The piercing gaze of the glinting eyes is commonly encountered in Rabindranath's work. Art historian R. Siva Kumar dates this painting to c.1934- 35. He also gives it the descriptive title of 'Face of a Woman in Profile'. The medium is given as 'Coloured ink on paper'.
