Citation Information
upturned and head thrown back, he wears • an expression of smiling ecstasy, as he
raises his hands in prayer or supplication. Like the other, the body is nude to the
hips. Scarves and ornaments are as in the &st figure, excepting the ear-rings, which
seem to be bunches of beads. The dhoti is red-brown and without visible pattern.
The bare feet are more accurately drawn than is usual in these paintings. The rug
on which the figure sits has a red-brown centre with diagonal lines of grey dots,
bordered with grey. The vesica is dark grey, bordered with red and dark red-
brown and the nimbus is grey surrounded by white.
It seems probable that this figure and that on the title-page, which it resembles
in many ways, are by one artist.
