A bronze bust of Mahatma Gandhi is prominently displayed indoors against a solid blue wall. The bust, created by Clare Sheridan, depicts Gandhi with a calm, contemplative expression, his head slightly tilted, and draped in what appears to be a traditional shawl or toga-like garment. He is recognizable by his distinct features, including his bald head and spectacles. To the right of the bust, a light-colored rectangular plaque features a significant quote attributed to Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. The text begins: "I am not a visionary, I claim to be a practical idealist. The religion of non-violence is not meant merely for the *rishis* and saints. It is meant for the common people as well." It continues, emphasizing his philosophy: "Non-violence is the law of our species as **Violence** is the law of the brute. The spirit lies dormant in the brute, and he knows no law but that of physical might the dignity of man requires obedience to a higher law - the strength of the spirit." The quote is signed "Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi" at the bottom. Above the quote, a smaller section on the plaque identifies the artwork as "BUST MAHATMA GANDHI BY CLARE SHERIDAN." The setting appears to be a museum or exhibition space, likely in Mumbai, India, given the provided context. The blue wall provides a simple, contrasting background for the dark bronze of the sculpture and the text on the plaque.
