Ajanta: The Colour and Monochrome Reproductions of the Ajanta Frescoes Based on Photography v2.c8.s6.3

v2.c8.s6.3

THE Jātaka depicted in these frescoes has not been identified as yet, but the scenes reproduced in Plates XII and XIII show a lady in exile with two robbers, or executioners, and the birth in the jungle of a child who is ultimately thrown into a lotus-pond. The various incidents have been depicted with great pathos, and though the frescoes are badly damaged, yet the skill and vision of the artist cannot escape notice.
