CATALOGUE NOTES
Artist's Proof. This print is a portrait of Sakina; one of the models at the J.J. School of Art. Ebrahim Alkazi suggested that Lajmi visit the JJ during the weekends to draw sketches of these models. Lajmi was teaching back then and did not really have the time to go. Alkazi then asked her to call these models home over the weekends for sketching. That's how Sakina came into the picture as narrated by Lalitha Lajmi herself.
