Dancers (Sudhir Khastgir)

Posted on 20/08/2015 by Anu M

For awhile (in the 50s I think), Sudhir Khastgir painted a number of dancing figures. Here are two:

Sudhir Khastgir, Dancing Figure, 1962. The lower panels indicate the earrings and forehead ornament, a little bit of the knotted ponytail, bangles and the girdle.
