Facing them, Ravana spreads a fan of orange arms holding bows, swords and a snake, his ten bearded heads beneath one gold crown topped by a grey donkey's head, from which three bees fly. A tree of orange blossoms rises at the left, and a red border frames the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: gum tempera and gold on paper, c. 1765, Cleveland Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChamba school is the painting of Chamba, one of the largest of the Punjab Hill States, in present-day Himachal Pradesh. Its earliest known paintings, from the second quarter of the seventeenth century, already show a distinct manner, with naturalistic figures, pale colours and Mughal and Deccani influence; later work absorbed elements of the bolder Basohli style, and painters used fine parallel lines on garments to suggest volume. Under Raja Umed Singh (r. 1748–64) the painters Laharu and Mahesh illustrated Vaishnava texts and the avatars of Vishnu, and his successor Raj Singh gave land to painters of Nainsukh's family from Guler, whose naturalism gradually replaced the local style. Examples are held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art and Minneapolis Institute of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
