This painting shows a woman with a pale face and dark, round eyes. She’s wearing a red and gold sari, with heavy jewelry around her neck and arms. Her hair is covered by a veil, and she holds a small object in her hand. The background is dark, with a blue border and gold trim around her. The woman’s face is lit from one side, making her skin glow softly. The edges of the painting have delicate gold leaves and flowers, adding a fancy frame. If you like this style, check out Nandalal.
