Indian girl

The woman depicted leans her right arm on the back of an armchair in a photo studio, her left foot resting on a footstool. Her jewellery, her elaborate sari and her challenging gaze suggest that the woman depicted is a courtesan. Her bent arm resting on her hip is often taken by dancers.
