'S.L. Haldankar (1882 - 1968), was known for his sensitive handling of water colors and had a mastery over oil colors. He was an eminent painter, founder of Haldankar’s Art Institute and one of the founders of The Art Society of India established in 1918, which also supported music. ‘Untitled (Lady in a Garden)’ creates an ambrosial atmosphere, where the elegant lady with a water pot is surrounded by nature, lost in sweet memories.'
