Painting from a Kalpa-sutra: Queen Trishala Reclining

Artist unknown

Until recently, and especially during the 1800s and early 1900s, the paintings in South Asian manuscripts were excised and mounted as individual works of art. These two paintings from a Jain manuscript of the <em>Kalpa-sutra</em> have been separated from the text and mounted with gold-flecked borders, like pictures in an album.
