100 Rs
Maqbool Fida Husain (1915 - 2011) was a modern Indian painter of international acclaim, and a founding member of The Progressive Artists Group of Bombay (PAG). M F Husain was associated with Indian modernism in the 1940s.
Husain began his career by painting billboards for feature films. Hussain's —sometimes treated in series—include topics as diverse as Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Ramayana, Mahabharata, British Raj, Bollywood, horses and motifs of Indian urban and rural life.
M. F. Husain’s name has become almost synonymous with modern Indian art, for no single artist has popularised Indian art. M F Husain was a special invitee along with Pablo Picasso at the Sao Paulo Biennial (Brazil) in 1971.

About Lady In Prayer Maqbool Fida Husain – Painting
This painting was acquired directly from the artist by the current owner in 1958. The owners were diplomats posted in India between 1956 and 1958 and recalls seeing Husain's work for the first time: ‘we were struck by the new style, colours and composition of those paintings which were different from other contemporary Indian painters’. The owner went on to become close friends with the artist and acquired the current lot, a ‘special’ work which ‘represented the serenity and humility in praying’, immediately upon its completion. During a visit to the owner in 1993, Husain was pleased to see the painting once more: ‘He stood for a while contemplating 'Praying Woman' which is a unique piece’. About the Framed Prints
