Nandalal Bose (1883-1966) was an influential figure of the Bengal School of Art. He was an immediate disciple of Abanindranath Tagore, the leading artist and exponent of the school, as well as the reformist art teacher Dr E. B. Havell. Adhering to his mentor's patriotic commitment, Nandalal retrieved themes from the Indian epic past or scenes from romantic tales and reworked them in a highly romanticised style.
The work is a tracing in paint executed on buff paper. The drawing depicts the head of a girl. Her head is ornamented with strings of beads and with flowers, turned a quarter to the right and resting her cheeck upon her hand. The artist copied the figure from a fresco in one of the Buddhist caves at Bagh in the Amjhera District of Gwalipr State, Central India, which he visited in 1910 with Lady Herringham and two other students. The original fresco was painted in the 6th and 7th century AD.
