UNTITLED WATER COLOR BY BIMAL ROY

Signed by Artist Bottom Right Corner

Image size - 25.7 x 16.5 cm (10.1 x 6.4 Inches)
Mount size - 43.8 x 32 (17.2 x 12.5 Inches)

This painting depicts the story of an untouchable woman Prakriti who was mistreated by villagers because of her caste. She found a new life when a Buddhist monk named Anandha requested her to give him water to drink from her well, breaking all the barriers of caste rules. This story was written by Rabindranath Tagore known as Chandalika to bring awareness about the caste discrimination in the Bangla society.
Artist has depicted this narrative very beautifully with vibrant colours and soothing landscaped background. Two main characters placed in the centre with suggestive appearance. Prakarti on the right side shown with dark skin and tribal costumes whereas, nil down figure of the monk with yellow skin.
