What is the predominant theme in Laxma Goud's artwork "Rural South Indian Man–Woman"?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Nature and childhood memories
Laxma Goud’s etching shows peasants with trees behind them. It grows from his own childhood spent close to nature, not from politics, myth or city life.
Note: This topic was not named in the CUET 2026 syllabus, but it was part of the NCERT chapter. In 2025 and 2026, NTA also asked questions on topics in NCERT that the CUET syllabus did not name. So our mocks have questions from every part of the NCERT chapter, to give you enough practice. Read the whole chapter, not only the sub-topics named in the syllabus.
NCERT (2026-27): “Rural South Indian Man–Woman This is an etching print on paper made by Laxma Goud (1940...) in 2017. … In this etching, human figures are shown with trees in the background. It is based on his childhood memories immersed in nature. The work is a combination of highly ornate contours, realistic depiction of the peasants and a gentle stylization that gives a touch of puppets to the figures represented in the print.”
