Early 20th Century Indian Miniature. Reception Scene In A Palace
Here's an Indian tradition on the verge of extinction, due to a lack of generational renewal on the part of artists dedicated to perpetuating the traditional iconography of legendary stories from the past.
The finesse of this work no longer appeals to the younger generation.
Yet, observing the quality and finesse of these genuine illuminations, one can't help but marvel at them, and begin to dream of the splendors of palace and court life.
This, a reception of a distinguished guest by a prince surrounded by his courtiers, certainly recounts an episode from the many ancient tales of Indian culture.
It appears to be made on a medium with a clearly visible weft, perhaps a piece of cloth and not paper.
Perfect condition, framed in the 60s.
