Princess Gouramma is a refined portrait of an Indian princess painted in 1852. She is depicted with grace and poise, wearing a European-style dress of soft satin, symbolizing her assimilation into Victorian society. Her dark hair is styled neatly, and she holds a small prayer book, emphasizing her conversion to Christianity. The background is subdued, directing focus to her serene expression and delicate features. Winterhalter’s hallmark elegance and soft brushwork capture both her royal dignity and the melancholy of cultural dislocation. The painting blends Eastern identity with Western ideals, reflecting colonial complexities of the time.
