Flowers, silk and a quiet glance. Seated at a table draped with a deep red curtain, a young woman in a white sari with gold borders threads a garland of white and pink flowers, gathered on a silver tray. A glass goblet and a dish of petals stand beside her. Her long black hair falls down her back, and she turns her gaze towards us, adorned with a gold necklace, earrings and a nose ring.

Flower garlands are woven every day in India, to offer to the gods, to welcome guests or to adorn the hair. Ravi Varma turns this everyday gesture into a portrait of calm elegance, painted with the soft light and rich textures of European academic art.

Why it works on your wall

Elegant and serene: white, gold and red for a bedroom, a living room or an entrance
A classic of Indian art: the refined beauty of Ravi Varma’s portraits of women
Framing tip: a gold or dark wood frame echoes the richness of the silk and jewellery

Raja Ravi Varma

Raja Ravi Varma (1848–1906) is considered the father of modern Indian painting. He combined Indian subjects with European oil technique, painting the women of Kerala and Maharashtra as well as the heroines of Hindu epics, and his lithographic press, founded in 1894, spread his images all over India.
