Ajanta: The Colour and Monochrome Reproductions of the Ajanta Frescoes Based on Photography v2.c8.s19.4

v2.c8.s19.4

To the right of the Bodhisattva is a female attendant holding a *chaurī*. Her complexion is fair, and her features and pose are most graceful. She has a band or round cap on her head similar to those worn by two ladies in the previous subject (Plate XXXII). The painter has shown great feeling in the delineation of her right hand, which is holding the handle of the fly-whisk. The curve of the arm, the modelling of the elbow, and the drawing of the fingers are all most charming.
