A Richly Illuminated Miniature On Fine 18th-century Paper, Featuring A Gilded Floral Design And An Intimate Scene Of Lovers

Beautifully framed within an ornate molding featuring gilded motifs, with a generous sandy-colored border accented by white beveled marli-louise trim; surrounded by a design worthy of our French medieval illuminators—featuring flowering branches with gilded accents; this intimate and sensual scene depicts a delicate exchange conveyed through the gestures of the hands between a handsome young man wearing a golden turban, seated, and a lovely lady. The remarkable details of this late 18th-century Indian painting on fine paper—the framing friezes, the ornamentation—all contribute to a work of exceptional historical quality, preserved in the purest Hindu style, full of tranquility and grace. A beautiful decorative piece in perfect condition, from the prestigious collection of a distinguished antiquities connaisseur.
