Hello, this item is a large acrylic on canvas painting attributed to M. F. Husain, showing two stylized figures in a composition that mixes Cubist geometry with theatrical color blocks. The work follows themes common in Husain’s career such as musicians, female figures, and bold contour lines. The signature in red paint imitates Husain’s hand, but the letterforms, pressure, and fluidity do not match authenticated examples from the mid nineteen seventies. The canvas edges, stretcher quality, and paint handling also differ from the materials and sophistication seen in confirmed works. Based on visual analysis alone, this painting does not align with Husain’s documented technique or chronology.

The market for authenticated Husain paintings is strong, with verified mid period figurative works often reaching between $40,000 and $200,000 depending on scale and complexity. Attributed works without documentation, and which show stylistic inconsistencies, fall into a different category and are traded as decorative pieces rather than as works by the artist. A realistic market value for this painting in its current state sits between $600 and $1000.
