介绍（中）	Dhumavati是Mahavidyas之一，Mahavidyas是印度教的十位密宗女神。她代表了至高无上的女神黛薇可怕的一面。Dhumavati被描绘成一个老寡妇，与印度教中被认为不吉利的事物有关，例如乌鸦和查内尔场地。Dhumavati被崇拜为揭示宇宙终极知识的人，这超越了物质世界的虚幻领域。在这幅早期的平版印刷品中，图像是用单色灰帆式技术绘制的，有限的水洗使用来突出她的马车和她放下手中的饭勺的金色元素。仔细观察她的脸，就会发现她非常熟练地使用这种技术，使用色调和色彩密度来模拟一个具有深厚智慧的老年妇女的美丽表现力的脸。长长的波浪头发勾勒出她的脸，第三只眼睛从她的额头上盯着，全视万象。乌鸦是她的徽章，可以看到栖息在她的马车顶部以及拉动它。
介绍（英）	Dhumavati is one of the Mahavidyas, a group of ten Tantric goddesses of Hinduism. She represents the fearsome aspect of Devi, the Supreme Goddess. Dhumavati is portrayed as an old widow, and is associated with things considered inauspicious in Hinduism, such as the crow and the charnel grounds. Dhumavati is worshipped as one who reveals ultimate knowledge of the universe, which is beyond the illusory realms of the material world. In this early lithographic print, the image has been drawn in a monochromatic grisaille-type technique, with a limited use of color wash to highlight the golden elements of her carriage and the rice scoop which she holds in her lowered hand. A closer look at her face shows a remarkably skilled use of this technique, employing tonality and density of color to model a beautifully expressive face of an aged women of profound wisdom. Long waves of hair frame her face, and a third eye stares out from her forehead, all-seeing. Crows are her insignia, and are seen perched atop her carriage as well as pulling it.
