Antique Nathdwara Painting of Shri Dwarkadhish by Pannalal Motilal

An original 19th-century painting from Nathdwara by the artist Pannalal Motilal, depicting Shri Dwarkadhish. The four-armed deity stands on a pedestal within a shrine niche, adorned with strands of pearls and a jewelled crown, flanked by small attendant figures. Below, a dark band of vine scrolls is worked in fine white dot-work. Inscribed in Devanagari along the lower edge with the deity's name and the artist's name and place, Nathdwara, Rajasthan.

Given its age, minor wear and surface variation are part of its character and authenticity.
