This post started as a way for me to share some close-up details of ordinary figures in Nainsukh’s paintings that I saw at the Victoria and Albert Museum, mainly because I wanted to highlight his skill in portraiture. But then I felt these close-ups also lend themselves to wider questions about whom this art form depicts and whom it does not.
I think it’s an important question to ask whenever looking at any artwork. Do share your views to these questions.
