The artist has infused life in the picture by placing the fingers deftly on the strings. With a little imagination, one can hear him strum the veena, which too is wonderfully crafted. Attention has been given to each detail of the instrument, trying to make it as realistic as possible. Each stone studded in the veena would have taken a number of waxing and dyeing sessions. The background is dyed in a subtle green shade.
Dark drapery offsets the width considerably.
From conception to the end, this batik piece is a marvel. This description by Renu Rana.
