September 18 - October 23, 2025
Kapoor Galleries presents The Blossom & the Sword, a fall 2025 exhibition showcasing 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—give 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 & the Sword at Kapoor Galleries.
The Blossom and the Sword will be on view through October 23, 2025. For additional information about the exhibition or works shown in the digital catalog below, please contact the gallery at info@kapoors.com
