EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from the Harishchandra Series, depicting the legendary Indian king, Harishchandra of the Ikshvaku dynasty. In this particular scene titled "Harishchandra and his Minister Killing a Tiger" we witness an intense moment of bravery and valor. Set against a vibrant blue backdrop, Harishchandra is depicted on horseback alongside his loyal minister. They stand united as they confront a fierce tiger, symbolizing their unwavering determination to protect their kingdom from any threat. The opaqueness of watercolor and ink on paper adds depth to the artwork, bringing life to every stroke. The composition exudes power and strength as Harishchandra wields his sword with precision while his minister stands by ready for battle. Their red attire signifies royalty and sovereignty, emphasizing their regal stature in society. This piece not only captures an epic tale but also serves as a testament to India's rich cultural heritage. It transports us back in time to an era where legends were born and celebrated.
