"I am like a folk painter. Paint and move ahead" - Maqbool Fida Husain

This unique impasto painting by Husain is a motif of rural Rajasthan, with two Peacocks and a woman in the courtyard with a male figure looking out from the hut in the background, and the colours embodying the landscape of the region where he travelled extensively in the 1960s.
