Observe the image and answer the following question.
Which feature infuses the painting in the image with an element of heightened dramatic energy?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → The vertical perspective
Option (1) The subdued colour palette — Incorrect. The painting does have a subdued colour palette, but that is not what gives it dramatic energy.
Option (2) The vertical perspective — Correct. The vertical perspective infuses the painting with heightened dramatic energy.
Option (3) The use of pure white — Incorrect. Pure white with soft shades of red, blue and yellow is called charming, not dramatic.
Option (4) The rendering of water — Incorrect. The water is called convincing. The dramatic energy comes from the perspective.
Note: This topic was not named in the CUET 2026 syllabus, but it was part of the NCERT chapter. In 2025 and 2026, NTA also asked questions on topics in NCERT that the CUET syllabus did not name. So our mocks have questions from every part of the NCERT chapter, to give you enough practice. Read the whole chapter, not only the sub-topics named in the syllabus.
NCERT (2026-27): “Noah’s Ark Noah’s Ark, from a dispersed Divan-i Hafiz painted manuscript of 1590, is an excellent painting in subdued colour palette and has been ascribed to Miskin, one of the masters at Akbar’s imperial atelier. …The use of pure white and subtle shades of red, blue and yellow is charming. The rendering of water is convincing and the vertical perspective infuses the painting with an element of heightened dramatic energy.”
