Hello, this item is a painting executed in the style associated with Manjit Bawa, showing a male figure in profile holding a pale bird against a flat yellow ground. The hand forms, the soft modeling, and the simplified palette resemble key visual traits of Bawa’s imagery. The verso inscription reads “Manjit Bawa 91,” although the handwriting does not match verified examples from authenticated works. The canvas construction, stretcher type, and paint surface look contemporary rather than consistent with early 1990s works by Bawa. No documentation or COA accompanies the piece, and the market for Bawa is one of the most heavily forged segments in Indian modern art. Works of this scale by Bawa from the early 1990s that are authenticated by the Estate or by major galleries such as Vadehra Art Gallery typically appear at Sotheby’s or Christie’s and achieve strong results.

Based on the available images and the lack of provenance or credible authentication, this painting should be valued as an attribution or decorative work inspired by Manjit Bawa rather than an original.
