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.
Amrita Sher‑Gil’s 1930 Self‑Portrait depicts the artist in a three‑quarter view, wearing a beige fur coat and matching headscarf over a white blouse highlighted by a pearl necklace. Her direct, contemplative gaze against a deep red background captures a modernist introspection, blending Western painting techniques with an Indian sensibility, marking Sher‑Gil as a pioneering figure in Indian modern art who explores personal and cultural identity through expressive portraiture.
