Annu Naik
Herding Scene (1975)
A visual memory of belonging. One moment. One hand. One work.
Introduction
There are artworks that decorate.
And then there are those that inhabit.
This original painting by acclaimed Indian artist Annu Naik, signed and dated 1975, belongs to the latter.
A rare, semi-abstract piece from a master of Indian modernism — for those who collect with both the eye and the soul.
For those who don’t just want something beautiful, but something enduring.

About the Work
With muted earth tones, gestural lines, and poetic abstraction, Herding Scene captures the timeless connection between human and animal — rendered through the language of light and shadow.
The silence in the composition speaks as loudly as the figures.
This isn’t nostalgia.
It’s remembrance — painted into form.
