The graphic of the shirt is by our favorite artist Hemen Majumdar. “Lady With
A Fruit Basket” was painted in the 1920s in Kolkata.
Hemen Mazumdar was known for his portraits of Indian royalty and paintings
of women, whom he painted in diaphanous clothes. After Ravi Varma, he
became the most sought-after artist for oil portraits. His large oils of partially
clothed or nude women, with their air of voyeuristic eroticism, attracted the
Maharajas of Jaipur, Bikaner, Kashmir, Patiala, and other princely states as
clients who threw open their palaces to him.
