Archival Note Card | 1500 Series - #29

White-skinned figure with long hair lifts a bowl beside a veiled woman and a small elephant-headed child.

This is an archival note card from the 1500 series. It is archival paper. Many Indian miniatures draw on the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the stories of Krishna, which painters in several courts and regions returned to again and again. Square-format card in front of a rust-red cloth, with a crescent at the top. The man wears beads and sits on a dotted skin, the woman is draped in long gold-brown hair and a magenta skirt, and blossoms hang overhead. It is 7 inches long and 5 high.

A cozy portrait for a household with unusual guests.
