PORTRAIT OF A PENSIVE WOMAN, KANGRA SCHOOL, PAHARI REGION, N - Lot 136
PORTRAIT OF A PENSIVE WOMAN, KANGRA SCHOOL, PAHARI REGION, NORTH INDIA, 19TH CENTURY Gouache and gold on paper, depicting a young woman with delicate features, richly adorned and wearing a dupatta over a celadon-green tunic, framed by a thick border of gilded flowers on a blue background. Portrait of a young woman, Pahari school, possibly Kangra or Guler, Punjab, north India, 19th century Dim.: H 28,5 x W 24 cm (painting, on sight) - H 11 1/4 x W 9 1/2 in (painting, on sight) This beautiful portrait is painted in a style specific to the Pahari region of Upper Punjab, such as that of the Kangra school. A painting of a woman at her toilet in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, executed in Kangra around 1815 is typical of this style, which is also very close to our painting (IM.7-1912).
