Illustration for Jayadev's Gita Govind

Pai was inspired by the Goan art and the concept of Indian miniatures. He was also inspired by the ancient Egyptian sculptures' style, which reflects in many of his work. His canvases are densely populated with nature in all her moods, and his human characters are always depicted in relation with their environment. This work is an illustration he made for Jayadeva's Gita Govinda.
