Description
English: "Painting of Siva as Bhairava.

He is depicted standing in front of a hunting dog, similar to greyhound. The god is shown four-armed with damaru in his upper right hand and the head of Brahma in his upper left; with his front two hands he grasps the trisula. He stands on a small platform. To his right squats a diminutive figure of Brahma, red-skinned and four-armed; hiis front two hands are held, appropriately, in anjalimudra. Siva wears his hair in the jata in which Ganga is seen. A suggestion of perspective is provided by the lightly sketched in foreground.

On laid European paper watermarked with 'W T' and an armorial design."

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.
