Krishna Playing Flute - 01

This artwork, while a pichwai, is inspired by the Tanjore style of painting, evident in the generous use of gold leaf.
Pichwai paintings are usually created by a group of artists and hence, are typically not signed, since credit cannot be attributed to one individual. When a senior artist creates the entire Pichwai by himself, it sometimes carries a signature, much like in the world of contemporary art. Signed pichwais such as this are rare, and usually more valuable than unsigned pichwais.
