The portrait of a lady-theme.

Dear student,

Here is the answer:

The portrait of a lady is written by Khushwant Singh. It is a memory piece, in which he mentions about his relationship with his grandmother. It is a loving tribute from him to his grandmother. He beautifully describes his grandmother and how their relationship undergoes changes in due course of time.

In The portrait of a lady the author considers his grandmother to be his best friend.  He always respected and loved her. His grandmother was very religious, had white hair and used to wear a white saree. She showered her love and care towards the animals too.

The Portrait of a lady thus reflects the theme of innocence, love, sacrifice and friendship.
