Шобана в роли дочери художника

Bharatnatyam dancer, Shobana, can be seen here in a recreation of the “There Comes Papa” portrait that Raja Ravi Varma created in 1893.

This portrait that has Ravi Varma’s daughter, Mahaprabha Thampuratti (Princess) of Mavelikara, holding her own daughter Sethu Lakshmi Bayi who later on became the Queen of Travancore is another aspect of motherhood.
