“Woman Holding a Fruit” by രാജാ രവി വർമ്മ Raja Ravi Varma (Indian) – Oil on canvas / c. 1894 – National Gallery of Modern Art (New Delhi, India) #WomenInArt #RajaRaviVarma #NationalGalleryOfModernArt #NGMA #IndianArt #KeralaArt #art #artText #Varma #PortraitofaWoman #arte #1890sArt #IndianArtist #രാജാരവിവർമ്മ
A young SouthAsian woman holds a small orange fruit between the fingers of one hand, while the other gathers the pink drape of her sari at her shoulder. Her head tilts gently, and her eyes turn to the side to meet ours. A small red bindi, a delicate nose ring, pearl necklaces, ornate earrings, and gleaming bangles frame her face and hands. Her long black hair falls behind a pale-gold top. The soft pink fabric, warm skin tones, and glinting jewelry become the focus. Her careful hold on the fruit makes me feel like it’s an advertisement. Indian artist Raja Ravi Varma (രാജാ രവി വർ) was born into an aristocratic family in Kilimanoor, in the princely state of Travancore (now Kerala). He became one of India’s most influential painters by bringing European oil-painting methods of shading, modeling, and creating depth to South Asian art. Subtle changes in light give the woman’s face and hands a rounded, lifelike presence, while the folds and gold trim of her sari display an attention to texture and dress. The National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi describes “Woman Holding a Fruit” as a meeting of innocence and sensuality. Her lowered gaze and restrained smile suggest reserve, while the drape at her shoulder and delicate handling of the fruit invite a more playful reading. Rather than assigning her a specific story, Ravi Varma lets small gestures carry the painting’s emotional life. The woman’s identity is not given, and the fruit’s exact meaning is uncertain, but both draw our attention to her expression and pose. The museum dates the painting to the late 19th century, while the Raja Ravi Varma Heritage Foundation gives 1894 and an alternative title “Lady With A Fruit.” Ravi Varma also painted a closely related composition called “The Coquette,” now in a private collection. He sometimes repeated sought-after paintings for different patrons. In 1894, he established a printing press that helped bring reproductions of his art to a much wider public.

From Christopher P Jones, “ A Beautiful Mughal Painting With a Dark Side: The virtues of nature over mankind,” Medium: “The image is an invocation of the flurry of autumn’s transition. More than a dozen squirrels chase around the branches of a plane tree — otherwise known as a chinar or sycamore. The landscape around the tree is rocky and mountainous, where wild animals and birds graze. Four wild goats occupy a glade whilst numerous species of birds swoop, perch and feed around the grass and the extended branches of the tree. The pastel green of the grasses and the soft-hued purples of the rocks suggest a harmonious setting.” A closeup of squirrels in a tree with orange, yellow, and green leaves.

“Tara Bai Old” by Raja Ravi Varma (Indian) – Oil on canvas / 1880 – Maharaja Fateh Singh Museum (Vadodara, India) #WomenInArt #RajaRaviVarma #IndianArt #IndianWomen #PortraitofaWoman #Baroda #Vadodara #RoyalPortrait #MaharajaFatehSinghMuseum #OilPainting #art #artText #arte #IndianArtist #RaviVarma
Painted in Baroda in 1880, this portrait belongs to a transitional moment in Indian artist Raja Ravi Varma’s career. It reflects his early style, influenced by traditions of Indian court portraiture and Tanjore painting, with a relatively flattened figure, controlled pose, rich surface ornament, and emphasis on jewelry and gold rather than the dramatic modeling of light and emotion that would characterize his later portraits. A young Princess Tarabai Gaekwad of Baroda (daughter of Maharaja Khanderao Gaekwad and Maharani Jamnabai) sits composed and upright against a blue background, her body angled away while her face turns toward us. She wears a grayish-blue sari with a pale gold shawl draped over her shoulders. Elaborate earrings, layered bracelets, rings, a forehead ornament, and a prominent jeweled nose ring connected across her cheek frames her face and arms. Her black hair is center-parted and pulled back smoothly. One hand rests on a circular wooden table holding a white cloth as the other rests in her lap holding a small bouquet. Gold tassels hang form a curtain at the upper left, while a vase of flowers sits on the table. Rather than emphasizing Tarabai’s personality through movement or overt emotion, Ravi Varma presents her through signs of rank, dress, jewelry, and ceremonial composure. In 19th-century Indian royal portraiture, textiles, ornaments, and modes of presentation communicated region, family, wealth, and social status. Her father died shortly before her birth, but Tarabai was born into Baroda’s ruling Gaekwad dynasty and therefore held the rank of princess. Her mother later adopted Gopalrao Gaekwad, who ascended the throne as Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III, making Tarabai his adoptive sister within the royal household. In 1879, Tarabai married Raja Raghunath Savant Bhonsle of Sawantwadi, joining another princely family.

Bhramari Devi

Listen closely—the Mother is humming beneath the world.

Bhramari Devi — The Mother of the Swarm She arrives not with thunder, but with a thousand wings. Bhramari Devi, the Bee Goddess, manifests as a vast swarm of black bees—small individually, yet overwhelming together. Her presence evokes the strange duality of nature: sweetness and sting, nourishment and danger, beauty and terror existing within the same living world. This painting explores Bhramari as a force of collective power—the Divine Mother expressed not as a single weapon, but as countless tiny beings moving as one.
