Veenai Dhanammal - charcoal pencil sketch 

Veenai Dhanammal was a highly accomplished Carnatic musician, and the torchbearer of the school of Carnatic music that goes by her name. She was both a vocalist and performer on the Saraswati veena. The prefix "veenai" in her name is an indicator of her exceptional mastery of that instrument.
