Pahari painting

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Pahari painting

 or Hill painting

Style of miniature painting and book illustration that developed in the independent states of the Himalayan foothills in India c. 1690–1790. Combining the bold intensity of the Basohli school with the delicacy and lyricism of the Kangra school, Pahari painting is closely related to Rajasthani painting. It shares with the Rajput art of the northern Indian plains a preference for depicting legends of the cowherd god Krishna.

Kangra paintings also known as Pahari painting, were patronised by Rajput rulers between the 11th and 19th century.
Studies by scholars on Pahari painting in the past tended to feature provenances, periods, or styles and rarely discuss individuals except to mention whether or not specific paintings were signed by the artist.
I have tried to do so by placing a silhouette of a photographic image that shows four polo-playing British army officers over an appropriated Pahari painting that shows a shy and passive bride to be.
