Description
An original oleograph of Vasudeo H Pandya’s paintings depicts scenes from Indian puranas and itihasas such as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. In this particular oleograph, Lord Krishna’s life is showcased, with a focus on his favorite instrument, the bansi (flute). Legend has it that everyone becomes mesmerized when Lord Krishna plays his flute.
The oleograph portrays Lord Krishna in his signature pose, known as “Tribhangi Mudra.” Tribhanga refers to a body curved at three different parts – the neck, waist, and knee – creating an “S” curve posture. Lord Krishna stands with his neck and waist curved in opposite directions, playing his flute with crossed legs and bent knees.
A cow is depicted standing nearby, listening to the music, while the gopis are shown mesmerized by the sweet tones of the flute. The background showcases a picturesque forest complete with trees, rivers, clouds, birds, and an aura of peace. The oleograph is named “Bansi Naad,” capturing this enchanting moment.
Oleographs are prints made using a mechanical process called oleography, popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They often replicate oil paintings, characterized by rich colors and fine details. This is an old oleograph so be sure to review this for any noticeable imperfections like tears, watermarks, stains, or pinholes.
