Exclusive Pichwai Painting (Unframed with mount-Length - 14" x Width - 11"). A beautiful rendering of a delicate woman musician 'Gopika'. The fine attention to detail is exquisite. The gopi’s ghaghra-clad legs are captured in a pose, indicating that she has been dancing. Her deft hands play the veena as she moves, providing the perfect melody. Hailing from the town of Nathdwara, which sits in the hills of Aravalli, Pichwai paintings are the epitome of worship culture. Associated with the 17-18th century, these were hung behind the idol of Lord Krishna, giving them their name which literally means ‘back hanging’. These paintings are intricate in detail and painted with precision. Various artists work under a head artist to lend their creativity to these pieces of art. They render beautiful images of Lord Krishna in the form of Srinathji, a descent of the deity as a child. Other common subjects are Radha, cows, gopis, and lotuses.
