Housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago, this piece is part of their esteemed Arts of Asia collection. The painting depicts a significant moment in Tibetan Buddhism, where King Mangkur sits cross-legged in the lotus position while being nourished by Queen Devika. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this ritualistic scene to life, showcasing the rich heritage and religious practices of Tibet. Intriguing hand gestures and postures are captured within this naive art form, highlighting the deep spiritual connection between these two figures.
