About the Artwork
This luminous studio portrait captures a Bhutia woman in late 19th-century Darjeeling, photographed by T.H. Paar, whose lens preserved a rapidly changing Himalayan world. The subject, poised and richly adorned, wears distinctive Bhutia jewelry—including coral and turquoise accents—and a ceremonial robe reflecting Tibetan cultural influence. Her serene expression and upright posture radiate quiet pride. Far more than ethnographic study, this image is a tribute to identity, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance.
