Solution
The correct option is C Both 1 and 2 "The main theme of the Mysore School of Paintings included Hindu gods and goddesses. The unique part of these paintings is that they had two or more figures in each painting and one figure predominated all the others in sheer size and colour.
After colouring the figures, the artists would turn to elaboration of the faces, dress and ornaments including the gesso work (gold covering), which is an important feature of Mysore painting."
