Over het schilderij
Shyamal Dutta Roy was born in Ranchi, Bihar in 1934. He graduated from the Government College of Art and Craft in 1955. Dutta Roy worked as art teacher at Jagadbhandu Institution in Calcutta. He was a founder member of the Society of Contemporary Artists. Shyamal Dutta Roy lives and works in Calcutta.
In his work, Dutta Roy often focuses on the melancholy of urban Calcutta, its poorest residents, the broken walls, crumbling plaster, cobweb-filled rooms and empty houses.
In this watercolour, we see a woman, half-length, feeding a swarm of pigeons from her out-stretched hand. The woman has her eyes shut, wears a colourful sari and has several bangles on her armwrists. Beyond more birds circle in the air. A screen of large buildings blocks the view.
