"Man on Bed," 1970's 85.3 x 85.3 cms. Signed with the title and Bhupen's Baroda address on reverse. The man is most probably Shri Shankerbhai Patel, Bhupen's intimate friend. He had diabetes which made him blind, thus the dark glasses. Bhupen gifted this painting to his lifelong friend, Dr. Sunil M. Kothari. (See next picture.)

"Man on Bed" oil on canvas, 1970's, gift to Dr. Sunil M. Kothari (pictured), 85.3 x 85.3 cms. email from Dr. Kothari, 8 July 2014: "Dear Brian, Bhupen gave painting to me long ago when I was staying at Ivorine building [1966 to 1977] in Mumbai. Then in 1980 I moved to Kolkata as a Professor of Dance at Rabindra Bharati University. The painting travelled with me from Mumbai to Delhi before I went to Kolkata. And I had deposited it with my friend D...as I had no place of mine to hang it. He promised to take utmost care, and he did and returned it to me when I got Asiad Village flat in 2004. Since then it is with me. The person lying in bed may be someone he liked, but am not sure. I do not recollect anything more." Bhupen wrote his name, the title and his then Baroda address on the reverse.
