EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group portrait captures the essence of two young Brahmin girls from circa 1916, a time when the social stratification system of Hinduism held great influence in India. Belonging to the highest caste in Hindu society, these girls were permitted to pursue intellectual and spiritual pursuits, making them an integral part of the esteemed Brahmin community. The painting, with its rich color palette and intricate details, showcases the girls' traditional attire, including their red and white saris, adorned with intricate gold jewelry, and their braided hair adorned with flowers. Their serene expressions and poised posture reflect their refined upbringing and the importance placed on grace and composure in their society. This image was published in a volume of a popular Indian magazine in November of 1916. The artist, Paul Albert Besnard, skillfully captured the essence of these young girls, immortalizing their beauty and the traditions of their community for future generations. The painting is a testament to the cultural significance of the Brahmin caste in Hindu society and the enduring traditions that continue to shape Indian history and identity.
