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 Untitled (In the Garden), 1938, shows a stark white garden table seen from above, set with a blue pitcher and a bowl of fruit, placed amid deep green and brown foliage beside a small orange house and a solitary yellow chair. The empty setting, warped trees and enclosing house create an atmosphere of quiet melancholy and isolation, reflecting the artist’s introspective late Hungarian period and her fusion of European plein‑air practice with Indian miniature‑like, multi‑point perspective.
