Hill Women

Hill Women is an oil on canvas painting by Hungarian-Indian artist Amrita Sher-Gil, completed after she painted Hill Men in the winter of 1935 at Simla. Depicting a girl among three young women, it was influenced by the poor surrounding Sher-Gil's home in Simla, India. The painting was exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1936, and later at Hyderabad that year. Sher-Gil picked it for display at her One Man Show in Lahore in 1937. In 1978, it appeared on an Indian postage stamp.
