On this work
Painted in 1940, Amrita Sher-Gil combined architecture and figures to create an outstanding image of intimate rural domesticity. Inspired by miniatures, Sher-Gil created a distinctive genre in oils to represent what art historian Geeta Kapur calls a "feudal/feminine world". Sher-Gil's predilections for painting peasant life and the influence of Brueghel on her have been commented upon.
