Telingi Girl named Perou from the Madras Region is a 1850 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a young girl sitting cross-legged on the floor, with her hands resting on her lap. She is dressed in a traditional Indian outfit, consisting of a white blouse and a gray sari wrapped around her body. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she wears a few pieces of jewelry, including a necklace and bracelets. The girl's expression is calm and serene, and her eyes seem to be gazing directly at the viewer. The background of the painting is a soft, beige color, which helps to emphasize the girl's features and clothing. The level of detail and realism in the painting suggests that it was created using a technique such as chiaroscuro, which emphasizes contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth.
