| Abstract: | Through the study of particular paintings, the author believes that the Rajasthani school began before Akbar's period and owed its formation to the Sultanate courts of the pre-Akbar era. The Mrigavati illustrations, the Awadhi romance, and an undated illustration from a Sangrahani Sutra all show drapery, colour schemes, and architectural elements of pre-Akbar times. In fact, the facial features show affinity with the Apabhramsa tradition, while the floral designs appear uniquely Persian. Source of Abstract: Provided by Publisher |
