Lower-resolution version of what appears to be the same painting of Shri Vishnu in his typical pose, with stronger colours and lines, and the signature clearly visible at the bottom left.

   This is the thing I keep running into with Hindu devotional art... it's so hard to find "the original" (and/or the credit).

   Take these two for example (I was looking for the image used in the video, in my earlier post). The one on the left looks like the original — the one on the right looks as though someone has painted over it to accentuate the lines and fill in the wash colours. But the signature is clear on the right, whereas on the left it's washed out and unreadable. Which came first?
