Understanding the Concept:
The question is about dates in the career of Gaganendranath Tagore. His Cubist phase falls between about 1921 and 1924.
Step 1: Recall the period:
He turned to Cubism around the time European Cubist work was shown in Calcutta in 1922. Many of his famous Cubist paintings are placed in 1922.
Step 2: Narrow down:
The choices run year by year from 1921 to 1924, so only a firm date can settle it. The date linked with this painting is 1922.
Step 3: Conclude:
Hence 1922 is chosen, which is option 2. This item rests on memory, so it is worth checking against the textbook plate caption.
Final Answer:
Option 2 is correct. \[ \boxed{\text{1922}} \]
