This likely comes from a set of five or seven paintings from the Nyimga tradition. The four Taras are Tara Burning Suffering (middle left), Tara Giving Rise to Attainments (middle right), Tara Greatly Increasing (bottom left) and Tara Accomplishing the Complete Perfection (bottom right), and are from a group of twenty-one Taras from the Suryagupta system. The inscriptions on the back of the painting indicate this was commissioned by Depa Rinpoche Tashi Kangsar, and the blessings were put there by Tendzin Yeshe Lhundrub. It is also possible that the calligrapher named in the inscription is also the painter.
