This portfolio of a group of Indian miniature paintings by Nainsukh of Guler, a remarkable Indian painter of the 18th century, features thirty works--including preliminary sketches, drawings, paintings, and large-size scrolls--from an exhibition shown in the Haus zum Kiel in Zurich, and later at the Arthur M.
