The masculine figure, adorned with gold, melodiously plays the flute, identifying with the musical repertoire of the region. Thota Vaikuntam masterfully portrays this cultural appliqué while illustrating a rapt admirer who dazzles with the woman’s vibrant red bindi and fine jewellery. A compelling homage to tradition and country life, the harmonic combination of deep, rich hues and skillfully designed pattern commemorates their shared history and classical style of the veteran artist.
