The present lot is one of Husain’s early explorations of the subject matter from the 1960s, and underlines his virtuosic ability to synthesize classical Indian subject matter into a uniquely modern aesthetic. The flattened abstracted forms and color bear similarity to European Modernist works by Fauvist or Post-Impressionist artists. However, Husain’s influences were also far closer to home. His palette was strongly influenced by depictions of Indian mythology in classical painting and sculpture as well as by the styles of Mughal, Jain and Basholi miniature paintings. His use of a bright colors including oranges and yellows gives his subject a powerful emotive energy, highlighting the artist's interest in depicting women as protagonists in his work. Here, Husain's subject is both goddess and everywoman, combining the mythical and ordinary in the artist's characteristic style.

Maqbool Fida Husain (1915 - 2011) was a modern Indian painter of international acclaim, and a founding member of The Progressive Artists Group of Bombay (PAG). M F Husain was associated with Indian modernism in the 1940s.    Husain began his career by painting billboards for feature films. Hussain's —sometimes treated in series—include topics as diverse as Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Ramayana, Mahabharata, British Raj, Bollywood, horses and motifs of Indian urban and rural life.   M. F. Husain’s name has become almost synonymous with modern Indian art, for no single artist has popularised Indian art. M F Husain was a special invitee along with Pablo Picasso at the Sao Paulo Biennial (Brazil) in 1971.
