Raja Ravi Varma (1848–1906) was a pivotal figure in the development of Indian modern art, particularly known for his depictions of scenes from Indian epics, mythology, and history, as well as for his portraits of Indian women.

The painting "Lady with Swarbat" features an Indian woman dressed in traditional attire, playing the swarbat, a stringed musical instrument similar to a lute or a small sitar. The subject is typically depicted with a serene expression, engrossed in the act of making music, which reflects the cultural renaissance and the patronage of the arts during the period in which Varma lived.

Raja Ravi Varma's works are characterized by their detailed realism, vibrant color palette, and a keen sense of light and shade, influenced by European academic art and realism. "Lady with Swarbat" exemplifies these qualities, showcasing Varma's skill in portraying the textures of fabrics and jewelry, as well as his ability to capture the nuanced expressions of his subjects.

This painting is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its cultural implications. It represents the synthesis of Indian traditions with European painting techniques, which Ravi Varma mastered and popularized, making art more accessible to a wider Indian audience. His portrayal of women in art also played a role in shaping the visual representation of Indian femininity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
