Jainistikes thumbnails
Destined thumbnails for the illustration of the sacred books of Jainism (the massive following Hinduism and Buddhism of Indian religion). The region of Gujarat in Western India was the center of this kind of painting, which was done in a palm leaf in 1350 and on paper after 1400. The persons were depicted in profile and with their two eyes to appear and dominate the spot colors to red or (after 1500) blue background. The influence of the Persian and the Mongol miniatures are undeniable.
