Friday Museum Sketches
Today’s sketch is another from the Seattle Asian Art Museum’s collection of Indian sculpture. This one is from the famous temple site of Khajuraho in north central India, depicting the Hindu god Shiva and his consort, Parvati. This is a frequent image in Hindu sculpture and I’ve seen and sketched it several times (to the point where I may be describing the wrong piece here) I always like these images as there is a noticeable closeness and tenderness between the two which I find to be a welcome contrast to the noticeable sterility of most western religious art.
