This Batik Painting on Cotton, titled "Indian Beauty," draws inspiration from Jayashankar Prasad's epic poem, Kamayani, specifically focusing on the characteristics of a bashful woman as described in this Maha Kavya. The painting skillfully captures the essence of lajja or bashfulness depicted in Jayashankar's work. The portrayed woman hesitantly catches the slipping cloth to preserve her modesty, embodying the delicate nuances of femininity described in Kamayani.
The artist employs a dark-toned palette, with a dark yellow background and a woman painted in dark maroon, emphasizing the subtleties of her emotions. The use of white for ornaments, cloth, and even the tree branch creates a striking contrast, adding a mystic touch to the composition.
The woman's tribhanga pose, with one leg slightly forward, adds grace and fluidity to the depiction. The overall color combination and composition not only pay homage to Jayashankar's poetic vision but also evoke a sense of ethereal beauty and timeless emotion in this Batik Painting.
