________________ The greens and pinks of the flowering leaves and ripe fruits contrasted with the attractive colourful costumes of the beauties, perhaps motivated the painter to paint this earthly scene. Observe the woman who has climbed up the mango tree to pluck the fruits. The artist has created a picture out of a commonplace motif. The verticals formed by the women, tree and the distant trees accentuate the verticals of the painted panel. The winding river at the top of the picture acts as a good foil to the whole ensemble. 201 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
