EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th-19th century print depicts a scene from the Vessantara Jataka, a well-known Buddhist story in the Theravada tradition. Specifically, it illustrates Chapter 11, titled "Jujaka and the Royal Children are Brought to King Sanjaya." In this narrative, the monk Vessantara, played by the figure in the center, demonstrates his selflessness and compassion by giving away his children to a king, represented by the figure on the right. The children, shown kneeling with their hands pressed together in respect, are accompanied by their brother and sister. The scene takes place in an outdoor setting, with a grand pavilion in the background. The intricate architectural details of the pavilion, along with the ornate fabrics and textiles adorning the figures, showcase the rich cultural heritage of Southeast Asia during this period. The use of earthy tones, such as brown and grey, adds to the authenticity and aged appearance of the print. This work of art, with its isometric perspective and intricate details, is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of the unknown artist. The print, which is likely painted on paper using pigment, has been preserved for centuries and continues to captivate viewers with its beautiful imagery and profound storytelling.
