About the painting
This scene depicts a Baul singer in a meditative state plucking an ektara. The combination of watercolour and grey wash creates subtle changes in the different shades of grey, giving an overall sense of mist.
The artist Abanindranath Tagore (1871 - 1951) was the pioneer and leading exponent of the Bengal School of Art which flourished between 1905 and 1920. In his paintings, he sought to counter the influence of Western art as taught in art schools under the British Raj, by modernizing indigenous Moghul and Rajput traditions. His work became so influential that it was eventually accepted and regarded as a national Indian style.
