Reclining Nair Lady is a 1903 painting (sometimes listed as 1897 or 1902 even though it is signed on the front as 1903) by the Indian artist Raja Ravi Varma. The painting features a recumbent Nair (or Nayar) woman, with a book open in front of her while attended by a maid. The beautiful young bronze woman gazes calmly at directly at us while resting her head in her right hand and relaxes with an open book, while a maid cools her down with a palm leaf fan. The painting highlights the Nair woman's wealth and status with details like the velvet cushions, tassels, and intricate work on her jewelry. The gold borders on the mundu (garment) are done to perfection Believed to have been modeled after the heroine of the popular Malayalam novel "Indulekha" by O.C. Menon, the painting alludes to Édouard Manet’s masterpiece "Olympia" from 1863. Nevertheless, it is apparent that a stylistic and a cultural adaptation have occurred in Ravi Varma’s painting to suit his and other local sentiments. In this painting, the central character, a young educated Nair woman in 19th century Kerala, can be seen wearing a mundum neryathum (a two-set upper and lower garment that eventually evolved into a saree), kasu malai (garland of coins), ruby-studded gold bangles, earrings and necklaces. Her hair is in an elaborate up do as was commonly worn by Nair women. A strand of jasmine flowers and pink roses adorns her elaborate bun. Ravi Varma was among the first Indian artists to use oil paints with this work being a clear example his skills. He frequently painted aristocratic women in traditional attire, reclining on a bed or lost in thought. His specialty was realism so that each costume and piece of jewelry looks exactly like the original and, like furniture and interiors, were accurate at the time he worked.
