Concerning A Drowned Girl
1970
A haunting and evocative oil on canvas, Krishen Khanna's *Concerning A Drowned Girl* employs his characteristically bold brushwork and muted yet emotionally charged palette to explore themes of loss, mortality, and human vulnerability. The composition carries a somber weight, with figures rendered in Khanna's expressive, almost raw style that bridges the personal and the universal. The work reflects his enduring engagement with the human condition, drawing the viewer into a quiet yet deeply unsettling meditation on tragedy.
