Maqbool Fida Husain (1915-2011) Untitled (Woman holding a sitar & having henna applied) and (Woman & elephant) both with printed 'Husain', lower right magazine paper, framed 23.6 x 29.4cm (9 5/16 x 11 9/16in). Footnotes: Provenance Property from a private collection, UK; Gifted to the vendor over three decades ago. 'I am a folk painter' – MF Husain MF Husain (1915-2011) was a celebrated Indian painter, renowned for using his art as a narrative tool, often reinterpreting Cubism in his own unique way. A pivotal figure in the creation of the Bombay Progressive Artists' Group, Husain was known for exploring a wide range of themes, many of which were expressed through series that captured both the vibrancy of Indian urban and rural life. This present lot features two works on paper, one depicting a woman holding a sitar while having henna applied, and the other showing a woman offering water from a jar to an elephant - each piece evoking the richness of Indian culture and tradition.
