Queen Trisala's Joy (at the Confirmation of Her Conception): Folio from a Kalpasutra Manuscript

India (Gujarat)

Not on view

Queen Trisala is relieved by a sign from Mahavira that all is well. The joyous queen, attended by handmaidens, celebrates by dressing up and tending to her makeup then raises a mirror to admire the results. Trisala has resumed her throne—a wicker stool—and is installed in a grand palace interior, indicated by an elaborate cusped arch. Each figure occupies an architecturally defined space so that the viewer can clearly understand their hierarchical relationship.
