Description
Antique style painting of Shrinathji on cloth, painted with use of real gold. This pichhwai is one of the beautiful antique styled ones we have. The attire and jewellery of of Shrinathji is relatively simple, solid and less flowery. His pose is usual with the exception of his feet which are straight instead of sideways as in usual pichhwai paintings of Shrinathji.
This Shrinathji of Nathdwara pichhwai painting is created in antique style by traditional pichhwai painters of Nathdwara. These artists live in and around the haveli (Shrinathji of Nathdwara is housed in a house-temple called Haveli) and make their living by painting for Shrinathji.
All colours used in the pichhwai are organic and jewellery is painted with real 22 carat gold paint. This Pichhwai is one of its kind, and such work these days is rare and hard to get. Read about Pichwai painting in detail here.
