Brass wall art, 'Young Beauty'
Slender and lissome, a girl sits at the window and looks at herself in a hand mirror. She wears elaborate jewelry and her hair is carefully coiffed. Vineet works in the ancestral dhokra technique, a lost wax process, to depict the young woman and frames her image in wood.
