Sull’opera

Before creating final paintings, Pahari artists made drawings in order to perfect portraits or expressions. The curling side lock indicates that he is an unmarried youth with just the beginnings of a moustache. Areas of white paint around the outline of the face effectively erase prior attempts at drawing his profile. The artist used the same white paint to highlight the eyes, turban, and garment.
