The World's Finest Hand-Painted Miniature Thangkas

The collection focuses on one-of-one hand-painted miniature thangkas. Open an individual work to see its subject, images, dimensions, price, availability, cultural context and recorded place of making.

Start with the subject you want to live with, then compare the visible linework, colour, scale and finish. The work page is the reliable place to check the details that apply to that one object.

All 25 current thangkas are recorded with details painted in genuine 24K gold. The placement and visual treatment differ by work, so open the individual page to see how those gold passages appear in that painting.

Compare the full image with close views of measured drawing, line, layered colour, ornament and recorded gold detail. Photographs can support that visual reading, while authorship, age and materials still belong in the individual work record.

It describes the recorded painted field in the current miniature works, not automatically the complete framed size. Open the individual page for that work's image dimensions and overall object measurements.
