About the piece
Created circa 1760, this Rajasthan miniature from the Marwar school depicts a Rathor noble in a vibrant orange turban seated opposite a Digambara holy man. Set against a soft lilac sky and stylized greenery, the scene features a detailed white shrine housing a Vishnu deity, exemplifying the refined narrative style and bold color palettes characteristic of North Indian courtly painting.
