God Ganesha

Characteristic of the paintings from the Shekhavati region are the multiple draperies in strong colours (green, red) at the upper edge of the picture, which can only be seen here in a very reduced form; the upper part of the original picture may have been cut off during framing. Acquired in Ramgarh; especially in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the havelis of wealthy merchant families with corresponding needs were located in this area.
