Amrita Sher-Gil was a pioneering Hungarian-Indian painter (1913-1941). Often called the “Indian Frida Kahlo“, she blended Western art techniques with Indian themes, depicting everyday life and the struggles of women. Her vibrant, emotive style made her a key figure in modern Indian art.
Painted in 1930, this vibrant self-portrait captures a youthful, confident Amrita Sher-Gil during her student years in Paris. Distinct from the melancholic mood characterizing her later Indian works, this piece features the artist smiling radiantly with slightly parted lips, exuding exuberance.
She depicts herself with long, cascading dark hair and bare shoulders, accentuating her presence with bold jewelry, including a chunky bead necklace and a stack of colorful bangles. The painting showcases her command of European academic realism, utilizing fluid, textured brushstrokes and a rich interplay of light and shadow.
