Camels



“Camels” by Amrita Sher-Gil, oil on canvas, 100 x 75 cm, 1937.

Amrita Sher-Gil (1913-1941) usually focused on people in her paintings, so this work is rather unusual. It was painted when Amrita was 24, three years after her return to India from Europe where she trained as a painter. This painting can be seen at New Delhi's National Gallery of Modern Art, along with several other major works by the artist.
