{"product_id":"untitled-ardanarishvara-and-attendant-ink-drawing-fine-art-print","title":"Untitled (Ardanarishvara and Attendant, Ink Drawing) - Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed ink drawing of a temple pillar featuring the deity Ardanarishvara and a female attendant with a flywhisk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ink drawing depicts a highly detailed architectural column, characteristic of South Indian temple design. The central figure is Ardanarishvara, the composite androgynous form of the Hindu deity Shiva and his consort Parvati. This representation embodies the synthesis of masculine and feminine energies within a single body. To the side, a female attendant holds a flywhisk, a traditional symbol of status and devotion in temple iconography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawing focuses on the structural and decorative elements of the pillar. The capital features a kirtimukha, a protective face motif common in Dravidian architecture, surrounded by geometric and floral borders. The precision of the line work suggests a study intended to document the proportions and ornamentation of temple sculpture. The artist employs a clean, linear approach, prioritising clarity of form over shading or atmospheric effects. This method is consistent with technical drawings produced during the colonial period to record Indian architectural heritage for archival purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is vertical, reflecting the elongated nature of the stone pillar. The artist balances the ornate carvings of the column shaft with the relative simplicity of the surrounding space. Every element, from the jewellery worn by the deities to the moulding at the base of the pillar, is rendered with careful attention to detail. This print provides a clear view of the iconographic conventions used in temple construction, offering a window into the aesthetic principles of the period. It is a study of form, symmetry, and religious symbolism, presented with the rigour of an architectural survey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/untitled-architectural-study-of-temple-pillar-ink-on-paper-fine-art-print-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (Architectural Study of Temple Pillar, Ink on Paper) - Fine Art Print — Fine Art Print\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/ewer-celadon-glazed-ceramic-fine-art-print\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eEwer (Celadon Glazed Ceramic) - Fine Art Print — Unknown Artist\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Solis Prints","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59030127280463,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59030141763919,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59030141796687,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59030141829455,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59030141862223,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59030141894991,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59030141927759,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59030141960527,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59030141993295,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59030142026063,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59030142058831,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59030142091599,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Untitled-Ardanarishvara-and-Attendant-Ink-Drawing-_Poster_CompositorV1_1791332257192.jpg?v=1791332989","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/untitled-ardanarishvara-and-attendant-ink-drawing-fine-art-print","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
