v2.c77.266

‘Indistinct, uneven and inarticulate delineation, representation of the human figure with lips (too) thick, eyes and testicles (too) big, and unrestrained (in its movements and actions)—such are the defects of Chitra (pictorial art)’. “Bad seat, thirst, inattentiveness, and bad conduct are the root evils (in the painter) that destory painting”.—V. D.
