Lot 1839 | Aḍhāīdvīpa
Aḍhāīdvīpa - Gujarat or Rajasthan, ca. 1900-50 - The fine fabric painting traces the most important components of the two and a half continents (Sanskrit: aḍhāīdvīpa) in excellent painting style and great accuracy. In addition to the accurate drawing, the careful inscription should also be emphasised. The different zones of the circular central continent of Jambudvīpa are easily distinguished by different colours, and the same applies to the ring continents, which are marked by yellow or blue-grey colouring. The oceans running between the ring-shaped land masses are painted black. This fabric painting was probably created as a print for a publication on Jain cosmology. An inscription in the lower right corner indicates the library of a Pandit Vraj(?) Kishore as the place of production or storage. - From an important private collection in northern Germany, collected mainly in India from the early 1950s until the 1980s
180 x 180 cm
Die feine Stoffmalerei zeichnet in hervorragender Malweise und großer Genauigkeit die wichtigsten Bestandteile der zweieinhalb Kontinente (Sanskrit: aḍhāīdvīpa) nach. Neben der akkuraten Zeichnung ist auch die sorgfältige Beschriftung hervorzuheben. Die verschiedenen Zonen des kreisförmigen Zentralkontinents Jambudvīpa sind durch unterschiedliche Farbgebung gut zu unterscheiden, dasselbe gilt für die Ringkontinente, die durch gelben bzw. blaugrauen Farbauftrag markiert sind. Die zwischen den ringförmigen Landmassen verlaufenden Ozeane sind schwarz ausgemalt. Vermutlich entstand diese Stoffmalerei als Druckvorlage für eine Publikation zur jainistischen Kosmologie. Eine Aufschrift in der rechten unteren Ecke nennt als Herstellungs- oder Aufbewahrungsort die Bibliothek eines Pandit Vraj(?) Kishore.
