Gandhara Art was influenced by
Answer: D
Gandhara art was influenced by Greco-Roman art. Its sculpture, with figures in drapery in the manner of Hellenistic and Roman statues, wavy hair and Apollo-like faces, applied these western forms to Buddhist themes, so it is also called the Graeco-Buddhist school.
Mesopotamian, Egyptian and Central Asian art were not its main source. Central Asian influence came in the later phases and in the monasteries of the north-west but the formative influence was Greco-Roman.
