Description	Mukul Dey is known as the pioneer of printmaking in India for introducing the knowledge of graphics, particularly of dry point and etching acquired from his study in England and his extensive tours to America, Europe and Japan. His works assimilate the best of western technical skills and Indian thought as reflected in his paintings and graphic prints. With his exquisite drawing skills, Mukul Dey started painting portraits early in his career and continued it all through life making a living out of his art. He made portraits of famous personalities like Rabindranath Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, to name a few. The artist is also known for popularising the concept of printmaking in India and produced several reproductions of the portraits of the famous personalities he had done. He also developed prints narrating the Indian subjects and themes, particularly acclaimed are those of the Bengali women, the street corners of Bengal, the rivers, Santhals and the cityscape of Calcutta with its colonial monuments, busy by lanes and the river front. His works were also published in reputed journals as Prabashi, Bharati and Modern Review. Mukul Dey also has to his credit publications as: My Pilgrimages to Ajanta and Bagh (London 1925), My Reminiscences (Calcutta 1938), Dry points and Drawings from the Life of Mahatma Gandhi (Calcutta, 1948), Birbhum Terracotta (New Delhi 1957), Indian Life and Legends (1974). The artist was also an avid art collector particularly of the rural folk paintings of Bengal, handicrafts and the works produced by the artists of the Bengal School. In this painting, Etching Print is used. It is exhibited in National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi.
