Literature Literature

Looking at the refined imagery of his Radha's one is transported to the world of the pre-Raphaelite painter, Gabriel Rossetti. For, like Rossetti, in Suhas Roy too, 'truth to nature' means saturating realism 'with an electric charge of romantic, semi-mystical fantasy', whereby his imagery of voluptuous long-tressed Radha's entwined by decorative floral vines, reflects a vision redolent with hidden meaning and sensuality.

Condition Notes

Some visibe mould occurrence on the top right side of the painting. Requires cleaning. Overall in good condition
