Hello, this item is a painting executed in the manner of Tyeb Mehta, showing a stylized figure in orange against intersecting brown planes. The signature “Tyeb 79” appears in the upper right. The composition does not align with Mehta’s known works from the late 1970s, a period defined by his diagonal series and his more refined, sharply contoured figures. In verified examples, Mehta uses precise geometry, controlled flat fields of saturated color, and distinct anatomical abstraction. The figure in this canvas has inconsistent line quality, imprecise anatomy, and a palette that does not match the artist’s documented hues from that decade. The signature also differs from authenticated signatures catalogued in auction archives at Saffronart, Christie’s, and Sotheby’s. The canvas construction and ground also look contemporary and do not reflect the materials Mehta used in the 1970s.

Given the absence of provenance, documentation, or alignment with the artist’s recorded body of work, this painting should be treated as a decorative or workshop piece inspired by Mehta rather than an original.
