This painting shows a woman dressed in bright, patterned clothes. Her dark blue sari has gold dots and trim, and she wears gold bangles and a matching headscarf. In her hands, she holds a small bowl filled with red flowers. The colors stand out sharply against the plain background. The woman’s pose is simple but confident, with one foot slightly forward. The painting uses bold colors and clear lines, making her clothing and the flowers pop. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
