Glow of Hope "Woman With the Lamp"

 Glow of Hope, alternately titled "Woman With the Lamp", is a painting by S.L. Haldankar. The work was painted 1945–46 and is currently stored in the Sri Jayachamarajendra Art Gallery at the Jaganmohan Palace in Mysore, India.

                 The painting shows an Indian woman holding a lighted lamp in one hand, the other hand covering the light of the lamp from the front. The woman is in a simple and traditional Indian saree. The effect of the painting is heightened by the shadow of the woman in the back. The painting is done in such a manner that it looks as if the light of the lamp makes the lady visible. It has perfect shadows and visibility that makes the painting more artistic.
