EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century portrait, titled "Portrait of a Woman (image 3 of 6)" and believed to be from the 1720s, showcases the rich cultural heritage of India during this period. The woman depicted in the portrait is adorned in traditional attire, wearing a lime green dress with intricate gold embroidery and a matching headscarf. Her headdress is adorned with pearls and a tikka, a traditional Hindu and Islamic symbol worn in the center of the forehead. The use of opaque watercolor and gold on paper adds a regal and elegant touch to the artwork. The woman's profile is turned slightly, revealing her delicate features, full eyebrows, and the intricate design of her earrings. The portrait is reminiscent of the artistic styles prevalent in the regions of Bikaner and Rajasthan in India during this time. The portrait also reflects the influence of Islamic art, as seen in the use of geometric patterns and the subtle hint of a mosque or minaret in the background. This portrait is a testament to the diverse and intricate fashion trends of the 18th century in India, showcasing the unique blend of Hindu and Islamic influences. It is a valuable addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), providing a glimpse into the rich artistic and cultural heritage of South East Asia and the Indian subcontinent.
