Five men gaze out from the canvas in this realist painting from India, posing for a group portrait. Each man wears a traditional white kurta on his body and a colorful turban on his head, resulting in a rainbow-like progression of colors from left to right. Self-taught Indian artist Shyamala Venkatesh paints her subjects as they wait for the return of their sarpanch, or the village leader.
