Description

A woman cradles two stylized elephants in a composition that pulses with M.F. Husain’s signature blend of abstraction and emotional symbolism. Her exaggerated features and geometric form evoke both maternal strength and mythic grace, while the elephants—simplified yet expressive—echo themes of devotion and cultural memory. The dark and light background creates a dramatic tension, framing the figures in a space that feels both intimate and timeless. Signed boldly by Husain, the painting becomes a modern ode to Indian iconography, infused with personal warmth and artistic rebellion.
