2015

A FINELY DETAILED RAJASTHANI PICHWAI PAINTING DEPICTING SHRINATHJI, A MANIFESTATION OF THE HINDU DEITY KRISHNA, STANDING IN A CENTRAL SHRINE. THE DEITY IS ADORNED WITH ELABORATE GARLANDS AND SURROUNDED BY STYLIZED FLORAL ELEMENTS. HE IS FLANKED BY ARCHITECTURAL ALCOVES CONTAINING ATTENDANTS, SET AGAINST A HIGHLY INTRICATE BLACK AND WHITE GEOMETRIC AND FLORAL TILED BACKGROUND. THIS WORK EXEMPLIFIES THE NATHDWARA SCHOOL OF PAINTING.

Excellent, with minor creasing along the margins consistent with storage.
