Demure is a lesser-known word used to
appreciate the innately feminine qualities of a shy, modest, coy, and reserved
woman. The term is linked back to the old French root- “mur” (grave) and Latin-
“maturus” (mature), both of which suggest a serene depth of personality and
ripeness of character. It is through his seasoned skills that Dhiraj Khandelwal
has successfully painted this oil on canvas, which perfectly justifies its
title. Wrapped in a festive silken red, the Indian woman who is the subject of
this oil painting gazes downward, denying eye contact to the onlooker, who
appreciates her fully bloomed beauty veiled by a thin drape of her
introversion.
Khandelwal
creates a web of dark tones in the background, with red and black mingling to
provide a dramatic and deep backdrop for the woman to appear on the canvas. The
lady has her pitch-black tresses tied in a neat bun beautified by a bold
Maangtika- forehead ornament, which forms a part of her traditional Kundan
jewelry. A stunning effect of sunlight falling on the lady’s face is fabricated
on the canvas to highlight her radiant countenance embellished with metallic
eye shadow and rose pink lip shade. From underneath her red sari, her brocaded
blouse peeks. The auspicious red of the lady’s sari and exquisite ornaments
suggest that she is dressed up for a special occasion, probably her wedding
rituals- an occasion which would explain the bashfulness in her demeanor.
Using light
and shadow effects to focus on the lady's dazzling visage, Dhiraj Khandelwal
has made sure that the spotlight remains on the subject of this oil on canvas. Wearing
a dignified restraint, which is considered a woman’s best ornament, the young
woman in this oil painting is a celebration of femininity through art.
