Practicing Success
Observe the picture and answer the following question: |
What are the unique features of the painting? |
Front face, class eyes and, broad eye brows Quarter face, sharp nose, thin eye brows Side profile face, deeply curved eyes, pointed nose Side profile face, close eyes, small nose |
Side profile face, deeply curved eyes, pointed nose |
The correct answer is Option 3- Side profile face, deeply curved eyes, pointed nose The exaggerated facial type of Kishangarh, which becomes the distinctive and salient stylistic feature of the Kishangarh School, is believed to have been derived from the attractively sharp facial features of Bani Thani. Artist Nihal Chand is attributed with the credit of contriving this exquisite and characteristic Kishangarh physiognomy that is perceived in figures of Sawant Singh and Bani Thani is always represented as Krishna and Radha in brilliantly coloured, panoramic landscapes. Radha’s face in Bani Thani as Radha is unique in her deeply curved eyes, exaggerated arch of the eyebrows, pointed nose, serpentine curl of hair spiralling down the cheek, thin lips and pronounced chin. This particular painting is in the collection of National Museum, New Delhi. |
