Pencil Portraits of Traditional Indian Women

No matter how the times change, people's pursuit of beauty has never changed. The ancients' pursuit of beauty was not only manifested in their clothes, but also in their requirements for carved sculptures. Although today's ancient India has disappeared, the sculptures left by ancient India can also reflect ancient people's views on beauty. Most of the sculptures are dominated by women's figures, reflecting the graceful posture of women swaying in the wind and some charming movements that catch people's eyes. If you don't look carefully, you will almost think that a beautiful woman is standing in front of you. It can be seen that the sculpture technology of the ancients is very exquisite, and female sculpture can be said to be a precious artistic treasure in world art. So how did the ancients show the beauty of women in their sculptures?

First, the aesthetic feeling is sufficient. The aesthetics of the ancients are a little different from our aesthetics today. The ancients believed that girls should be as plump as possible, and the stronger their body texture, the more beautiful they could be. Therefore, the ancient beauties we have seen since ancient times are all round faces, with thin and long eyebrows, very decent facial features and obvious angular faces. The body feels very textured, the waist is slim, and there is a layer of fat on the stomach. A pair of legs are straight and thin, which is probably the thin place. Where there is meat, there is meat. Such a figure is beautiful even today, let alone in ancient times.

Second, the body is curvy. The ancients believed that the beauty of women was reflected in the curves of their bodies. Only when they have curves can their bodies be S-shaped, elegant and charming. Therefore, when the ancients sculpted women, they showed the beauty of women's body curves incisively and vividly, and all organs of women's bodies showed aesthetic feeling. Moreover, this aesthetic feeling makes people want to see it more and more, giving the audience a very pleasing feeling. I can't get enough of it.

This aesthetic feeling is not only in ancient times, but also in today's world.
