PROPERTY FROM AN IMPORTANT MUMBAI COLLECTION

Acrylic on cloth
1983
98 × 88 3/4 in. (249 × 225.5 cm.)

Signed and dated ‘Husain 3.V.83’ lower right
Condition: The painting has been created on an unstretched cloth which is supported by two rods running through stitched cuffs at the top and bottom of the work, in the manner of a thangka or scroll painting. The cloth shows signs of creasing due to previous folding. Minor staining is visible to the cloth, consistent with age, and is especially visible along the upper edge of the work, as partially visible in the catalogue illustration. Overall good condition.
