description: The artist has faithfully portrayed the dark stone sculpture of Shri Nathji with its monolithic rectangular slab depicting stylized rocks and wild inhabitants in low relief. The image of the sculpture contrasts with the surrounding pale hues, notably the pink created by a new synthetic pigment imported from Europe.
