Indian girl

Contact the institution

A shot of a woman in a photo studio. Her feet are resting on a footstool, her right hand is supporting her chin - this pose looks rather European. Her jewellery and elaborate sari suggest that the woman depicted is a courtesan. However, she is wearing the same sari as the lady in painting P 4239. A side table can be seen on the right-hand edge of the painting, on which nothing has been placed.
