Angela Trindade (10 August 1909 – 20 March 1980) was an American[1] painter famous for her Western-style portraits and Christian paintings in the Indian style.

Like her father, Trindade enrolled in the Sir J.J. School of Art in Bombay and, during this period, became the first woman painter to be granted a fellowship by the same institution.

The artist's western upbringing, liberal education and creative home environment made it easier for her to become one of the first women in India to take up painting as a profession.

[5] Trindade's early art was deeply influenced by her father’s aesthetics and her western education as is evident in Punjabi with Mandolin (1949)or Town Scene (1948).

In 1949, the artist had the opportunity to present her first solo exhibition abroad at the Fine Art Club, Washington D.C., United States of America.
