專家說明

While in Bombay, Souza would invite Mohan Sharma, a young man from Jaipur who painted miniatures, to work with him on his drawings for five months. Souza was impressed with Sharma's precise brushstrokes and very fine lines. Inspired by his work, Souza reinterprets a popular subject in classical Indian painting of female attendants waiting on a young lady holding a mirror. Souza makes the work his own by replacing the heads of the female attendants and lover in the window above with references of his past renderings of heads.
