Footnotes: Provenance Property from a private collection, UK. Published Dr. O.P Joshi, The Life and works of P.N. Choyal, 2000, pg. 41. 'My paintings come out of my life experiences. They may be figurative and pictorial, but it's my imagination that adds the details.', P. N Choyal Rendered in vivid, luminous hues, this striking oil on canvas, Woman & Cow, exemplifies Choyal's ability to fuse the figurative with the imagined. Born in 1924 and trained at the Jaipur School of Art, Choyal is celebrated for paintings that, while pictorial, emerge from a deeply personal and imaginative realm. Here, a woman and a white cow stand in an ethereal radiance, their forms bathed in shifting light that lends the scene a dreamlike, almost otherworldly presence. Choyal's palette, glowing oranges, cool blues, and soft, incandescent whites, creates an atmosphere of nostalgia and emotional resonance. Though known for his evocative depictions of Rajasthan's forts and havelis, where realism and abstraction coexist in delicate tension, he brings the same sensibility to this more symbolic composition. The work's fluid lines, diffused light, and expressive colour harmonies reveal the artist's enduring interest in memory, inner vision, and the quiet poetry found in everyday life.
