Here you can see a watercolor painting by one of the greatest painters of Bangladesh, Zainul Abedin, about the greatest famine in Bengal.
Zainul Abedin collected numerous pictures throughout his life and even built a museum to preserve Bengali art. His most popular pictures are about the famine in 1770.
I checked on Google and he is certainly recognized as a painter who marked the history of your country.
With my Western eyes, when I saw the image you shared, it seemed like a caricature because of the clean lines and the wonderful simplicity with which he can express his vision.
It speaks to me of the power of art to become a spokesperson for serious situations, making social denunciation.

Can you explain to me what you like about it? Does it speak to you? Would you buy it?
It's an interesting painting more like a simple drawing like a cartoon.

Ma'am, there was a terrible famine in our country in the year 1776 during the British rule. Where about 10 million people died due to food shortage. And Zainul Abedin, the greatest painter of Bangladesh, highlighted the horror of the famine at that time. He painted many pictures of the famine with his extraordinary drawing talent. The picture I shared is one of those paintings.
Thank you for explaining. Do you like it or not because that is not clear to me. I do understand this artist is famous but that doesn't mran you have to like his style.
