In this month’s #HimalayanArtUpClose video, Rubin Museum senior curator Dr. Elena Pakhoutova and Smarthistory’s (smarthistory_official) Dr. Steven Zucker examine a painting that celebrates old age. 

The Newars—one of the traditional inhabitants of the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal—hold rituals for elders who reach the age of 77 years, 7 months, and 7 weeks. Watch to find out how this painting represents the significance of this specific age.
