In the study ot Indian ait prior to the
Mugliai
period,
portraiture has so tar been much neglected, when its
existence has not simply been denied. This book is an
attempt to reassess this issue, by showing that portraits
have existed in great number
m
early India, since probably
the first artistic achievements. Through a close scrutiny
of sculpted and (more rarely) painted images brought
together with textual and epigraphical references, it aims
at highlighting the specificities or Indian portraiture.
its relationship with
divme
images and. consequently.
at understanding the development of Indian imagery.
It questions also the social and religious implications
related to this issue.
