Description
English: "Painting of Siva as Bhairava.

He is depicted standing in front of a hunting dog, similar to greyhound. The god is shown four-armed with damaru in his upper right hand and the head of Brahma in his upper left; with his front two hands he grasps the trisula. He stands on a small platform. To his right squats a diminutive figure of Brahma, red-skinned and four-armed; hiis front two hands are held, appropriately, in anjalimudra. Siva wears his hair in the jata in which Ganga is seen. A suggestion of perspective is provided by the lightly sketched in foreground.

On laid European paper watermarked with 'W T' and an armorial design."
