The portraiture is an art which the Hindu did not cultivate, and had even an aversion to, has been the conviction of some competent authorities on Indian art, but, like many other generalisations about Indian culture, that conviction is based on an imperfect acquisitions with facts and an impressions formed when very little was known of Indian things. Portrait-sculptures have been discovered in almost every part of India, and we can now point to specimens’ representative of the work of almost every period in the history of Indian sculpture. No pains have been spared to make this book as distinct as may be from the India Society’s publication in respect of both the letter-press and the illustrations, and he trusts that each would serve as a complement to the other.
