This 18th–19th Century Tibetan Buddhist painting, measuring approximately 4 x 5 inches, features a striking grid of six deities, each rendered with distinct coloration and poised atop soft cloud-like pedestals. The artist employs vivid mineral pigments—greens, blues, reds, and golds—that retain remarkable presence despite age-related wear. The bold red border frames the composition beautifully, emphasizing its devotional purpose. Fine linework and expressive faces highlight its period craftsmanship, while writing on the reverse adds historical depth. A compelling, compact example of early Tibetan religious art, ideal for collectors seeking authentic, well-preserved miniature thangkas with strong visual appeal.
