About this work

This painting shows a woman in profile, facing left. Her face and body are outlined in black, filled with bright colors—pink, yellow, and red. Her dress is covered in dots and flowers, and she wears big earrings and a headpiece with more patterns. The background has swirling vines and leaves in pink, green, and orange. The woman’s pose is simple but confident, with one hand resting on her hip. The bold colors and patterns stand out against the red border. If you like this style, look up *Mithila or Madhubani school*.
