Indian Painting of Vishnu Padam

Pink foot with a symbol on every toe walks across a pale green field.

This painting of the Vishnu Padam is from India, and dates to the early 20th century. It is pigment. Vishnu is one of the principal deities of Hinduism, and footprints are used as a sign of the god's presence in shrines and sacred places. Lines of script run down each side. A deep red margin with a fine gold line frames the page. It is 8.13 inches wide and 10.75 high.

Precise painting, carried out with great patience.
