The subject is a lady seated on a balcony watching golden sunlight illuminating the water below (Plate CXXVII). Such chiaroscuro effects probably are the result of the study of European art. - [Previous: c20.s2.111](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c20.s2.111) - [Next: c20.s2.113](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c20.s2.113) - [Up: c20.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c20.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c20.s2.112](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c20.s2.112) · Pramāṇa
