Features of Radha Paintings

This would be a model of an art I truly be grateful for! It is a picture paint of "Radha". What appeals to me in this part is the rich pose, improved by beautiful fascial features, in exacting the expression of the eyes. The eye is a half open mango shaped which makes the expression very tranquil. Called the "Kishangarh fashion", this style is experienced in the western part of India in Rajasthan state. The set I have of this style is typically hand-painted on silk, with very fine brush strokes. Very rich in colors, this method originates in the mid-eighteenth century under the support of Raja Sawant Singh of Kishangarh and is followed by present artists in Kishangarh even today.

Great notice is paid in this school, to the features of Radha, who epitomize Rajasthani ideas of beauty. She is always exposed as having a high forehead, arched eyebrows, half open mango eyes, hooked nose, and curved sensuous lips and a pointed chin over a long narrow neck. The stylized twist of the hair approximately her ear adds to her native grace – a individual feature of Kishangarh Paintings.
