This painting shows a woman sitting on a bed. She wears a white sari and holds a red flower. The background is plain, just a dark curtain. It’s a small painting, only about the size of a sheet of paper. The artist used bright red and white paint, which stands out against the dark background. No one knows who painted it. If you like this, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
