The Turkey
Description
The turkey cock, by unfurling its plumage, is trying to attract the female turkey in the background. The rapid brushwork and bright colours evoke the influence of the Post-impressionism and express the liveliness ingrained in the subject of the painting.
The artist was an artist with many skills and hobbies. He worked proficiently in watercolours, pastels and oils. He believed that realism was the only true art and had doubts about the genuineness of modern art. Panvalkar trained in portraiture under M. V. Dhurandhar and A. X. Trindade.
