Summary

Description
English: Battle Scene Between Kripa and Shikhandi from a Mahabharata

1670 (?)

Opaque watercolor with gold on paper H: 15.3 W: 42.0 cm Probably Seringapatam, South India, India

Purchase F1975.5

This charged scene is from the Mahabharata Great Story of the Bharatas, a sacred Hindu epic of ancient India that narrates the great war between two related clans, the Pandavas and the Kauravas. The battle scene gains vigor from the forcefully drawn figures as well as the myriad arrows activating the salmon-colored ground.
