Archival Note Card | 1500 Series - #56

Azure figure sits meditating inside a flower-like blaze of orange fire.

This is an archival note card from the 1500 series. It is archival paper. Indian miniature painting is generally made on a small scale with fine brushes and mineral or vegetable pigments, and it often illustrates epic poems, devotional texts and courtly life. Squarish card with a black sky dotted with tiny moon faces and birds. At the center a pale blue man with a halo sits on a hexagonal seat surrounded by flame and pink clouds. A haloed man in white stands at left. It is 5 inches long and 7 high.

Peaceful in the middle of a very loud fire.
