Her Daughter
1964
"Her Daughter" by Maqbool Fida Husain is an oil on canvas work that exemplifies the Indian modernist master's distinctive cubist and expressionist style. The painting combines fragmented forms and bold, sweeping brushstrokes to create a psychologically charged portrait that reflects Husain's interest in exploring human relationships and emotional depth through abstraction. The work showcases his characteristic use of earthy and vibrant tones to convey both the physicality and inner life of his subject.
