About the Item

Sunil Das - Untitled - 9 x 7 inches (unframed size) Pen and Ink on Paper, 2010 & 2012 (Set of 2) Inclusive of shipment in ready to hang form. The exceptions are the faces such as the profiles of bearded men in which the content is a mere excuse for the lines to create a pattern of untrammeled playfulness.
