Catalogue text
The scenes depicted on this cloth begin with the (invisible) Arjuna overseeing Suprabha's seduction of Niwatakawaca, followed by Arjuna shooting Niwatakawaca and his marriage to the nymphs. This is another finely executed example of the classical style of painting from outside Kamasan.
