Condition
Small spots of foxing and yellowing are visible throughout. A pin-hole sized depression to the surface is present along the upper right edge. Minor creases to the paper are also apparent, most notably on the head of the figure on the right and the hanging clothes. The reverse of the paper has not been examined as it is glued to the mount. The work is in good overall condition for its age, as viewed.

‘… watercolour has provided [Bhupen Khakhar] with a more playful and spontaneous kind of image-making... As a watercolourist he is free of the pressure of The Masterpiece (part of the inheritance of western oil painting) and closer to the popular artists of Indian tradition... In the seventies, Khakhar's watercolours were mostly of things seen - a still-life, a tree, a shrine, a single figure, or perhaps some vignette glimpsed from the bus or train. Unlike the oil paintings, they did not attempt to create some encompassing world.' (T. Hyman, Bhupen Khakhar, Chemould Publications and Arts, Bombay, 1998, p. 63)
