Nihal Chand, a gifted artist in the Maharaja's court, produced some highly individualistic and sophisticated works. The chief characteristics of the Kishengarh paintings were the elongation of human faces, lavish use of green and depiction of panoramic landscapes. Portrayal of Radha and Krishna in elongated faces is a common subject of Kishangarh paintings. The elongated neck, the long stylised eyes with drooping eyelids, the thin lips and pointed chin of Radha standing in a graceful pose with her head covered with a muslin odhni, is undoubtedly the most striking creation of the Kishangarh school. This style continued into the 19th century and a series of paintings of the Gita Govinda were produced in 1820. The most famous Kishangarh painting is called Bani Thani. The Indian government has used it on a postal stamp. The Bani Thani style of painting got its namePlaying Card; lacquered cardboardHandkerchief, Medium: cotton Technique: printed on plain weave, Red cotton handkerchief printed with the scene of a cleric pointing at a book before a seated woman.
