Portrait of a Model
Outlook
|July 11, 2023
A prose poem inspired by a painting bearing the same title, by Jamil Ahmad Khan, an artist from Ahmedabad.

And though we cannot see much more of his attire, we would like to imagine this person to be a spinning dervish of sorts, arrested as he is, mounted on white borders against a white wooden frame in the inner recesses of this walled city, an erstwhile Sufi corridor hosting lost saints.
