"Afternoon Tea" by Maqbool Fida Husain, part of the Raj Series, is a captivating painting that offers a glimpse into the refined and leisurely lifestyle of the British Raj era in India. Husain, known for his bold artistic style and keen observation, brings forth the essence of this historical period through his distinctive portrayal.
In this artwork, Husain skillfully captures the elegance and sophistication of a quintessential British afternoon tea ritual set against the backdrop of colonial India. The scene unfolds with a group of well-dressed individuals, perhaps aristocrats or members of the colonial elite, engaged in the ritual of partaking in tea amidst a lavish setting.
