About this work

This painting shows a small, colorful scene with bold colors. In the center, a blue-skinned figure sits cross-legged under a red canopy. Two deer stand on either side, and a large, patterned parasol shades the scene. The background is simple, with a blue sky and green pillars. The text at the top and bottom is in an old script, likely telling a story. The bright colors and detailed patterns suggest this might be part of a book illustration. Look up the malwa school to see more paintings like this.
