×
This painting belongs to a series of monochromatic ink and watercolour paintings inspired by the Sumi-e Japanese technique the artist employed in the last phase of his life. These compositions were stripped to the bare minimum where only a few strokes of ink were employed to create natural forms in an effortless approach. The above painting depicts the figure of a woman dressed in a saree, as she sits in a boat. The artist has executed the subject with a range of strokes and tonal variations capturing the rhythm and pattern in the image.
