About this work
A woman kneels in still river water up to her waist, her wet dark hair pulled back and her hands cupped beneath her chin in a gesture of prayer, water trickling from her fingertips. Ripples spread across the surface around her, and a dim, dark embankment closes off the background.
The greenish-gold water is built from smooth horizontal strokes broken by crisp ripple highlights, while the sari is painted in warm saturated orange with flecks of red and green pattern. Strong side light models her face and hands in careful detail, giving the quiet ritual an intimate, meditative stillness.
