Artwork notes

Artist-wide context

Elegant, idealised figures became a distinctive part of painting at the Kishangarh court.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Fine paper painting makes small changes of outline highly visible.

Marks and structure

Long eyes and carefully curved profiles can express a literary ideal of beauty.

Palette and light

Clear colour areas, pale architecture and landscape organise intimacy and distance.
