PICHWAI-STYLE PAINTING
SHRINATHJI
GOUACHE AND GOLD LEAF, WITH GOLD DETAILING
FRAMED
A FINELY DETAILED PICHWAI-STYLE PAINTING OF SHRINATHJI, THE DEITY OF NATHDWARA, RENDERED IN THE TRADITIONAL MANNER. THE DEITY STANDS FRONTALLY IN HIS CHARACTERISTIC POSE, ONE ARM RAISED, WITH A TURBAN OF PEACOCK FEATHERS AND AN ELABORATE STACK OF LAYERED GARLANDS AND JEWELLED NECKLACES. HE IS FLANKED BY LOTUS BLOSSOMS AND A DECORATED STAFF, AGAINST A DEEP BLUE BACKGROUND WITH A SOFTLY SHADED ARCH BEHIND HIM. THE SCENE IS SET WITHIN A HAND-GILDED FLORAL BORDER. A LOTUS-POND FRIEZE RUNS ALONG THE BASE, WITH OFFERINGS PLACED AT THE DEITY'S FEET. FINE GOLD WORK AND TINY EMBELLISHED DOTS GIVE THE JEWELLERY A RICH, SPARKLING QUALITY.
Condition
Excellent
