Reproduction - Milkmaid by Raja Ravi Varma


Taking time out to post two old paintings. This one here is a reproduction of "milkmaid" by Ravi Varma. I did that as part of a visual arts project in college. That was in 1995. Considering my knowledge of painting those days was elementary at best, it isnt bad! I was bad at backgrounds. And since the subject came out well, I didn't want to screw it up with a shoddy background. SO i left it plain with the lightest of washes in a safe color- yellow. Visually, it spreads easily.
