Portrait of J. M. Cursetjee
Description
This portrait showing the sitter in three quarter profile is the classic example of academic portraiture.
The artist Shantaram Purushottam Agaskar (1873-1925) was known for his portrait in academic style. His portraits were characterised by his application of colour in layers and his creation of diverse texture using brushstrokes in the manner of the Impressionist and Romantics. He joined Sir J. J. School of Art as a student in 1890 and later was also appointed to the faculty of J. J. around 1897 and worked as an assistant to the great artist of the Bombay School, M. V. Dhurandhar.
