Portrait of a Lady

What you see

Seated in a red velvet armchair, the lady turns slightly to the left, where her calm, serious gaze also goes. Her hands are clasped in her lap. She wears a black sari with gold dots and border, a blouse with striped sleeves and a golden shawl falling over one shoulder. On the left rises the base of a large stone column.

The grayish brown background and the muted column let the gold of the fabrics and jewelry shine. Her hair, parted in the middle and drawn back, frames a face with a red dot on the forehead. Don’t miss the large pearl nose ring, the bangles on both wrists and the tassel hanging from the chair.
