Boy with Lemons 1935

The story

A boy with skin in olive shadow holds a bowl of yellow lemons. Painted shortly after Sher-Gil moved back to India from Paris, this is the picture where she announces her deliberate turn toward Indian subjects — earthen colours, flattened shapes, and a quiet stillness.
