Archival Note Card | 1500 Series - #9

Grey-blue figure in a gold crown holds a long staff and a pink lotus.

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. Tall card with a plain pale ground. The standing profile wears an orange dhoti, pearl strings and a tall plumed crown. One hand carries a lotus on a stem, and the other holds a plough-shaped staff. It is 5 inches long and 7 high.

Elegant, and holding a flower with confidence.
