The female face has been an imperative in the works of Laxma Goud, considered by M.F. Husain to be one of India?s finest draughtsmen. Rustic elements and the integral mood of bringing together visual tastes and lucid modelling of human forms is what makes Laxma Goud?s works an attempt at naturalizing what is palpable and poignant.`When we do a work of art, context of the background becomes a very important criterion,? says Laxma. In this work the artist?s attention to facial features of the subject and the little things that happen all around her become the testimony of a little hamlet. Uma Nair-Asian Age, 2002
