Raja Ravi Varma Hand-Painted Frame – Lady with Sitar
Description
Raja Ravi Varma is widely credited with bringing a Western academic painting technique to Indian subjects, giving classical and mythological figures a soft, realistic quality that had rarely been seen in Indian art before him.
This piece recreates that style in watercolour, showing a woman seated in quiet concentration, her sitar resting against her shoulder as she plays.
The painting sits within a pink, quatrefoil-cut wooden frame, its repeating cut-out pattern giving the piece a lighter, more decorative border than a plain rectangular frame would allow.
At 23 cm by 28 cm, it's compact enough to place on a table or shelf as well as mount on a wall, making it a flexible piece for a study, living room, or reading corner.
For NRI households, this brings a piece of India's classical academic painting tradition into a home abroad, making it a meaningful gift for the festival season or for anyone who appreciates realistic, painterly Indian art.
Material: MDF, Watercolour paper
Dimensions: 23 cm x 28 cm
