The art of
looking closely.

One painting, many encounters

This presentation is devoted to a single Harivamsa folio attributed to Purkhu. It brings together the complete photograph, selected close views, a scholarly entry, and illustrated companions.

The object record

Attribution, proposed dating, measurements, and provenance retain their stated qualifications. The Sotheby’s record and the Smithsonian comparison are linked in the study. Recorded provenance is distinguished from independently established ownership history. Price upon request; subject to prior sale.

Photography & close views

Close views show portions of the actual photograph. No painted detail has been reconstructed. The complete folio remains available, together with a separate link to the original 10,865 × 8,777-pixel TIFF. Colors depend on the viewing device.
