In his quintessential style, Lalu Prasad Shaw depicts a woman at ease, wearing a red saree with a rhythmic green border that beautifully directs viewers' eyes throughout the surface. Her composed demeanour, while holding a palm leaf fan underscores grace, poise and a native nuance. Shaw's expertise in tempera painting adds life to this particular portrait, inculcating the spirit of classic Indian beauty. The tacit arrangement invites the observer to project their own experiences, converting this minimalist form into a screen of psychological depth and imagination.
