PORTRAIT OF A LADY

Image size: 31 x 23 cm (12.2 x 9 inches)
Frame size: 87 x 68 cm (34.2 x 26.7 inches)

The portrayal is consonant not only to Indian light but also to her culture and life style. She has India's life way and culture deep rooted in her being, in her costume and customs, build and beauty, light and feelings on face and thought within.
The most interesting factor of this work is depicted woman accompanied by a skull. In the Hindu tradition, the skull symbolizes that life is transitory.
Provenance : Collection of a Gentleman
