English: "Painting of Parasurama.

He is shown crowned, two-armed and wearing sandals. Over his left shoulder he carries his defining weapon, the axe. An impression of perspective is provided by a lightly sketched-in foreground. On laid European paper watermarked with an armorial design and the letters 'W T'." Description from source: "Gouache painting on paper from a portfolio of sixty-three paintings of deities and daily life. Paraśurāma, on whose forehead is Vaishnava Namam (emblem), is recognizable by the large parashu (axe) resting on his left shoulder, while his right hangs loosely by his side. His bulky figure is enhanced by the shading on his neck, chest and stomach. An angavastra (shawl) is draped over his elbows."

Date circa 1820
