About the work
Dhiraj Choudhury was born in 1936 in East Bengal (now Bangladesh). He studied at the Delhi College of Art in Kolkata and later, moved to Delhi.
In this pen and wash drawing we see two children threading garlands in front of a household image of the Goddess. A vase of flowes stands near the image. In the background, we see two little birds. The present drawing is one of a number on themes of childhood by him. Another version of the present subject appeared in a publication devoted to the 'International year of the child' of 1979.
