Master of the Jaunpur Kalpasutra

This is a conventional name for an unidentified illustrator of the Jain Kalpasutra, a text about the lives of the tirthankaras. His manner continues western Indian traditions. Gold and saturated blue also indicate familiarity with Iranian art and the Delhi Sultanate. The manuscript identifies his work, although his personal name is unknown.
