I don't find it offensive at all. Nor do I find it artistic or anything cos my taste in art is more like things out of the ordinary. And for me,this portrait is just that...ordinary! It's just a garment what all women wear.And if we for example wish to buy one then obviously you will find us holding them,even in public(like duh..lol)
And perhaps yes, if the artist wants to by this depiction portray to the world that we veiled Muslim women are ordinary women too, then she's done her job. Nothing to react crazily over, and if anyone is to get offended by this image,then Oh deary me...they are in for a shock if they see what's happening around the world today!
