Kapoor Galleries presents “The Blossom and the Sword,” a fall 2025 exhibition featuring portraits from across the Indian subcontinent. These works depict individuals from all walks of life, including noblemen and women, high-court officials, courtesans, and villagers. The paintings of nobility reveal how the courts of India aimed to convey a sense of refined elegance and an authoritative presence to their subjects, while the depictions of others offer glimpses into everyday life and society. Every element — from the details of the garments and colors used, to the posture, gaze, and objects in hand — gives insight into the individual, their social status, the culture of the time period, and the society in which they lived. Explore a collection of portraits from India in The Blossom and the Sword at Kapoor Galleries.

The Blossom and the Sword will be on view through October 23, 2025. For additional information about the exhibition, please contact the gallery at info@kapoors.com or visit the website.
