About the Item

Paper Size: 42.1 x 37.1 cm H B Bhujel, Untitled - Rajasthan Elephant Natural pigments on hand made paper, Jaipur, Rajasthan Late 20th Century This is a fabulous miniature painting by one of Rajasthan's master painters, H B Bhujel who trained for many years in a traditional Atelier in Jaipur, learning the skill of making the paints from natural pigments and neem sap and the essence of how to make a miniature painting. Once art for the courts in India, miniature painting as a traditional art form is sadly in decline. Traditional techniques and knowledge are being lost as the new generations of artists are either turning to work in new industries or more contemporary art practise. This painting shows the skill of the artist, techniques passed down from artists working for the royal courts in cities such as Kota and Bundi (just down the road from Jaipur) who excelled at painting elephants, using a single hair brush with natural grey stone pigments mixed in cips; mussell shells with iridescent surfaces ensuring there are no lumps or imperfections in the paint. Everyone loves elephants and it is said they bring luck and good fortune in every aspect of life.
