Woman Face by Rabindranath Tagore in the year 1941. This is one the most iconic head studies of a veiled woman adopting Rabindranath’s favourite oval form. The painting has been done in sepia ink and is lightly textured. The face has a dreamy quality, an elusive beauty with large understanding eyes. There is a lyricism in the covered head of the woman. Her sensitive expression echoes the poet’s own empathy with nature and humanity. The use of sepia ink evokes a sense of nostalgia, as if hers is a face seen in some evanescent dream.
