Sobre el cuadro
This vibrant scene, painted with bright reds, yellows and blues, depicts an open air fish market. We see four women, some squatting on the floor while others sit on stools, selling fish to some passers-by. The fish are exhibited in baskets resting on mats. Whilst two men purchase some fish, a small white cat observes the scene furtively.

K. H. Ara (1914-85) was an influential member of the Progressive Artists' Group (PAG). PAG was one of a number of Left-wing groups that were active in the 1930-40s Indian cultural scene. In this context, theatre professionals, writers and visual artists united under the 'progressive' banner and loosely endorsed Left-wing ideals to produce and circulate art together. PAG, founded in Mumbai in 1947, included artists Francis Newton Souza, Krishnaji Howlaji Ara, Syed Haider Raza, Hari Ambadas Gade and Sadanand Bakre. PAG members rejected the nationalist art propounded by the Bengal School and embraced the Surrealist, Expressionist, Primitivist and Cubist styles of the international avant-gardes.
