CATALOGUE NOTESSailoz Mookherjea was one of the pioneering figures of modern Indian art in the twentieth century. Mukherjea started his journey in art training from the Government College of Art and Craft in Calcutta in the late 1920s. His main influences were the folk art of India and the Basohli miniatures. He chronicles the landscapes the people flowers and trees of India with a lyricism of line and colour in his work such as this watercolour.
