A Tonal Masterpiece
The presented lot is a monumental rendition of
K K Hebbar’s treasured motif, the majestic peacock
The presented
artwork was painted
by Hebbar in 1965,
and hung above
the dining table in
his Mumbai home.
Here, artist Rekha
Rao, Hebbar’s
daughter, poses
with the painting
The painting was acquired
by the family of Mridula and
Raghunandan (Nandan)
Maluste. In fact, Mrs. Kusum
Maluste, Nandan’s mother
(pictured above and left with
Hebbar), was the artist’s
student at JJ School of Art
in Mumbai
