Signed 'Jogen' (upper left), dated '31.12.2022' (upper right) and Initialled Bengali (lower right)This minimalist line drawing captures the quiet poise and dignity of a traditionally adorned Indian woman through an economy of strokes. Executed in black ink on a plain ground, the work exemplifies Chowdhary’s characteristic simplicity, where contour becomes the primary vehicle of expression.
The figure is rendered frontally, her large almond-shaped eyes, arched brows, and centered bindi forming the focal points of the composition. Her long, flowing hair, earrings, necklace, and the gentle drape of the sari are defined with fluid, unbroken lines that suggest form without embellishment.
Provenance : Collection of a Gentleman
