A self-portrait by Amrita Sher-Gil in 1930 shows her as a "vivacious and jovial" character. [1] In it, her hair falls freely and she is wearing a dress that reveals her shoulders. [2] She appears leaning forward towards the viewer, and looks seductive. It has been likened to Renoir's portrait of the Actress Jeanne Samary (1877), and Raja Ravi Varma's late 19th century painting, Lady Holding a Fruit. [1] It is one of her 19 self-portraits created in Europe. [3]
