Product Description
Description:
This intimate and elegantly rendered miniature painting captures a scene of royal leisure and romance, characteristic of the subject matter favored by the Rajput and Provincial Mughal courts. It is a stunning "new on old" revival piece, marrying exceptional modern skill with a rare antique canvas.
Historical and Material Authenticity:
-
100-Year-Old Canvas: The painting is executed on genuine, high-quality antique paper, giving the work a distinct historical patina and feel, which is visible in the worn edges and texture of the unpainted areas.
-
Artistic Style: The work is rendered in the demanding nim qalam (half-pen) style, utilizing light washes and highly detailed line work, with color highlights concentrated on the figures and the immediate foreground. This technique gives the piece a soft, antique, sketch-like quality.
-
Real Stone Colors & 24K Gold: The colors used are hand-ground Real Stone Pigments to ensure vibrancy and longevity. 24 Karat Real Gold Leaf is delicately applied to the jewelry, the turban, and architectural details, lending a subtle royal shimmer.
The Intimate Scene:
-
The Royal Couple: A King and Queen are seated comfortably, leaning against large bolsters on a decorated asana (mat/rug) on a palace terrace. The King is holding the mouthpiece of a Huqqa (water pipe), and the proximity of the couple and the shared leisure activity emphasize the tenderness of the scene.
-
Architecture: The backdrop features intricately detailed white marble architecture, with carved screen motifs (jali) and niches, contrasting against the simple, unadorned wall that emphasizes the privacy of the moment. A faint, stylized cloud formation is visible against the muted sky.
-
Fine Details: Observe the meticulous rendering of the royal attire, the subtle expression of the Queen, and the decorative elements of the foreground, all executed with the finest squirrel-hair brushes.
This miniature is a rare and luxurious acquisition, celebrating the intimate opulence of royal life through a fusion of antique history and masterful modern craftsmanship.
