ExplanationThe artist is a Paubha painter depicting contemporary religious painting in Nepal. The goddess Tara who commonly appears in Nepalese Buddhism is depicted here in monochrome. Devendra Man Sinkhwal excels in monochrome expression. His work is characterized by having a surface that gives a feeling of somewhat moist texture. The expression found in the voluminous seat area and halo make them appear as wood-carved and represent the architectural style peculiar to the Kathmandu Valley.
