Taken by an anonymous European photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases a talented dancer from Kashmir known as a Nautch Girl. Standing gracefully with poise and elegance, the Nautch Girl exudes confidence and beauty. Her intricate costume reflects the rich cultural heritage of India, adorned with vibrant colors and ornate details that catch the eye. The photograph perfectly captures her striking features - expressive eyes filled with mystery and lips curved into a subtle smile. In her hand rests a hookah pipe, adding an intriguing element to the composition.
