Rudradeva says: This is another portrait which was enjoyable to execute, as it afforded me, the artist, an opportunity to meditate on Srila Prabhupada's congenial relaxed mood. It also required careful attention to be taken to ensure that the muscle form in the arm and also the hand and fingers are painted to be consistent with the pressure the subject, in this case, Prabhupada exerts, resting them (somewhat playfully) against his head.
