Description Shiva and family, c.1810-20, Guler or Mandi style: Shiva and Parvati strain bhang for drinkingSource: http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/search/LotDetail.asp?sid=&intObjectID=3879100&SE=CMWCAT04+219932+%2D1745476843+&QR=M+1+115+Aqc0000900+204173++Aqc0000900+&entry=india&SU=1&RQ=True&AN=116(downloaded Mar. 2002)"India, Himachal Pradesh, Guler or Mandi, attributed to Sajnu, circa 1810-20. A Domestic Scene of Shiva and Parvati with Family. The scene by a riverbank with rolling hills in the background very finely painted with Parvati and Shiva seated on a leopard skin and resting against a sleeping tiger, holding a cloth sieve separating bhang in a pot, with Ganesha delightfully hugging his mother'sshoulders and suckling from her breast and Karttikeya at front holding two vessels, the family surrounded by the bull Nandi, Ganesha's rat and Karttikeya's peacock, framed in an oval panel with floral sprays against a white ground and dark floral outer border. Image: 8 x 6 in. (20x 15 cm.).Lot Notes: Scenes of the Holy Family in domestic bliss were a popular theme with Pahari painters. In these scenes, Shiva is transformed and humanized from the wild ascetic to a doting husband and father though still retaining trappings of his divine status. According to W.G. Archer, Indian Paintings from thePunjab Hills, 1973, vol. 1, pp. 361-66, Sajnu, native to Guler, left his Kangra patron, Sansar Chand, and came to work for Raja Isvari Sen of Mandi in 1808 after turmoil forced him from the Kangra kingdom. The distinct painting modes of the three regions culminate in this and thefollowing lot. The oval format, decorative floral borders and flowing line are elements of the Kangra style that came into vogue in the latter 18th century, influenced from Mughal court painting. Guler style is exemplified by the jagged abstract rock formations, delicate palette, and geometricalcompositions that Archer states"at times violates realism for the sake of geometric drama." Mandi ruler Raja Isvari Sen, as a devout follower of Shiva, provided the impetus for these commissions."
