Archival Note Card | 1500 Series - #42

Indigo archer in a leaf crown draws his bow while swords flash at the edge.

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. Boxy card on a pale ground. A grey-blue figure in a green feathered skirt pulls a long gold bow, a quiver at his back. A boy in a green cap crouches at the right, and curved blades and a mace cross the top. It is 7 inches long and 5 high.

Steady aim and a very feathered wardrobe.
