"Two Men with Handcart": A Captivating Artwork from India

"Two Men with Handcart" is a significant painting created by Indian artist Gieve Patel in 1979. Born in Bombay (Mumbai) in 1940, Patel used oil on canvas for this work measuring w144.8 x h176.5 cm. Depicting two men with a handcart, it reflects aspects of Indian life and culture. Now housed in the Peabody Essex Museum since 2003 as a gift from the Chester and Davida Herwitz Collection, it offers insights into Patel's artistry and the broader context of 20th-century Indian art.
