The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Woman with a Turban Dressed as Radha by Abanindranath Tagore: The image shows a drawing of a woman's head and shoulders. The woman is wearing a turban on her head, and her face is turned to the right. She has long dark hair and is wearing earrings, a necklace, and bracelets. Her right hand is raised to her chest. The drawing is in black and white and appears to be on aged paper. The woman's clothing and accessories suggest traditional Indian attire. The drawing has a simple border at the bottom.
