Themes of Kishangarh Furniture Paintings
TThere are a few patent themes, which are reworked and recycled by artists. The lack of originality is compensated by the intricate brushwork.
Hunting Expedition
Clad in the royal attire befitting only of Rajasthani royalty, the king embarks upon his hunting expedition, accompanied by the requisite entourage of attendants and animals. The scene is under the cloak of night, as the black background intensifies powerful hues.
Festivity
The king rides astride his royal elephant, en route to an important festival. He is escorted by an entourage of his subjects, who create inspiring music with their luminous trumpets, while another attendant guides a camel, bearing gifts. The breathtaking scenery envelops the composition in eternal Indian appeal.
