MASTER OF STYLE II OF THE 'SHANGRI' RAMAYANA (attribué). Rama and Lakshman with the sage Vishvamitra, from a Ramayana

MASTER OF STYLE II OF THE 'SHANGRI' RAMAYANA (attribué). The scene takes place outside Ayodhya, in the uncultivated forest zone where ascetics dwell. The boys raise their hands respectfully as they listen to the divine sage Vishvamitra, who has brought them to the forest zone in order to kill the demons who disturb holy men. Vishvamitra wears an animal skin over one shoulder and carries a water pot (kundika). With their bows and arrows slung across their bodies, the brothers have long wavy sideburns, large lotus-shaped eyes, and richly colored jamas. All three figures bear red Vaishnava tilaks (forehead marks). The landscape is a glowing field of golden yellow, sandwiched between a thin strip of cloudy sky and a narrow band of tufted grass. A deep maroon river borders the foreground. With its shaggy tufts of dark green, the tree is made marvelous by a vine of absolutely massive fig leaves. Origin: Bahu or Jammu, Himachal Pradesh state, India. Opaque watercolor on paper. Date: ca. 1680-1690.
