Significance
The main figure in the portrait is the women in the beautifully elegant saree. She is the metaphor of the painting conveying self-confidence and elegance by holding the candle in her right hands and covering it by the other left hand. The covering it seems to be glowing, even when stored in the dark. It kind of narrates a specific story of self-confidence. There are no direct words to detect the story behind the painting. There are no patterns; but the colours used in this painting have a specific symbol behind it. Well the things are kept in juxtaposition to depict some meaning; in this painting the young damsel is holding the candle and covering it by the other hand betokens overcoming challenges with unconditional love. If we put a light on the placement and the scale of the specific object, e.g., the candle in this case is the centre of attention as it is providing a specific effect of eternal glow.

Famous quotes containing the word significance:
“The hypothesis I wish to advance is that ... the language of morality is in ... grave disorder.... What we possess, if this is true, are the fragments of a conceptual scheme, parts of which now lack those contexts from which their significance derived. We possess indeed simulacra of morality, we continue to use many of the key expressions. But we have—very largely if not entirely—lost our comprehension, both theoretical and practical, of morality.”
—Alasdair Chalmers MacIntyre (b. 1929)
“The hysterical find too much significance in things. The depressed find too little.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I am not afraid that I shall exaggerate the value and significance of life, but that I shall not be up to the occasion which it is.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
