A female musician in ornate dress plays a stringed instrument against a luminous turquoise sky and soft green ground, her body angled with graceful gesture and her garments rendered in rich reds and golds with fine striped detail. The painting employs the precise, jewel-toned palette and delicate linework characteristic of classical Indian manuscript illustration, creating an intimate and meditative presence. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
