Product Description
Description:
This stunning miniature painting captures a quintessential and thrilling scene of Royal Romance, depicting a daring midnight rendezvous where the hero attempts to join his beloved. This theme is a popular romantic trope, found in classical Indian love poetry and texts like the Rasikapriya or the tales of Dhola Maru.
Artistry and Materials (New on Old):
-
Vintage Canvas: The intricate artwork is skillfully hand-painted on genuine, old paper, which lends a rich, antique texture to the folio, enhancing the sense of historical narrative.
-
Bright Stone Colors: The composition is vibrant with meticulously applied, bright natural stone pigments, which the artist has used to render the deep reds of the palace bricks, the lush greens of the trees, and the striking blue and black of the night sky.
-
24 Karat Gold Leaf: The painting is highlighted with 24 Karat Gold Leaf, used sparingly but effectively on the Queen's jewelry, the palace trim, and the intricate text panels at the top and bottom, which feature Persian script likely narrating the poetic scene.
The Dramatic Scene:
-
The Hero’s Gambit: The central focus is the elegantly dressed man (likely the King or Prince) mid-climb, scaling the towering red brick wall of the palace, his face turned towards the Queen waiting above. His bold posture and movement convey the intensity of his passion.
-
The Waiting Queen: The Queen, visible in a highly detailed, arched Jharokha (balcony) dressed in dark blue, anxiously watches his ascent. The luxurious setting features a decorated bed chamber visible behind her.
-
Nocturnal Setting: The scene is set under a moonlit, deep blue-black sky, with stylized clouds and a distant, rocky landscape. The dark, mysterious pond below, filled with blooming lotuses, is crossed by the climbing hero, symbolizing the obstacles overcome by love.
-
The Attendant: The presence of an attendant figure seated in the privacy of the garden below, possibly guarding or waiting with the hero’s horse, adds to the courtly intrigue and clandestine nature of the meeting.
