This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Mahashri Tara and the Twenty-one Taras" a 19th-century masterpiece created by the Tibetan school. The painting, measuring an impressive 124.5x99.1 cm, is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. Using mineral pigments on sized cotton, this vibrant piece depicts Mahashri Tara surrounded by twenty-one other Taras, each representing different aspects of enlightened wisdom and compassion. The intricate details and rich colors bring these divine figures to life, evoking a sense of awe and reverence. The Chinese brocade mounts and metal roller knobs add an additional layer of elegance to this already magnificent artwork. These decorative elements not only enhance its visual appeal but also reflect the cultural influences that shaped Tibetan art during that period. Part of The Alice S. Kandell Collection, this thangka painting holds immense historical significance as it provides insights into Tibetan religious practices and beliefs from centuries ago.
