Prominent chin, wide open eyes, and use of grey and terracotta red colors. |
The correct answer is Option 1- Prominent chin, wide open eyes, and use of grey and terracotta red colors. There is a broad classification of three styles — Basohli, Guler and Kangra, and scholars may have variant terms for the same. However, these are indicative centres from where the style travels elsewhere. Hence, in Jasrota, as one observes the Guler style, it becomes categorised under the Guler School with Jasrota as one of its centres. Briefly mentioning the aspects of the other centres, one finds portraits of the rulers of Chamba in the seventeenth and early eighteenth century in the Basohli style. |
