17th/18th Century MUGHAL Indian Manuscript Illumination/Miniature Painting/FINE
A Very fine and highly detailed Mughal Indian miniature painting on paper - art field measuring 9 x 5.25 in. (23 x 13.5 cm)with gold paint and an upper register displaying Persian/Arabic Script and a smaller register at bottom displaying additional text; the central large ...register depicting a Palace scene of courtly love - with a handsome young Mughal beginning his seduction of a sari clad young woman - their eyes locked while both sit on a large cushioned divan in an open courtyard with balustrade and lush garden in the background with darkening sky while a two branch candelabra urns nearby. The Mughal with long sideburns and mustache rather than full beard. The whole is exquisitely detailed and painted and is no doubt from an illuminated manuscript - perhaps on love. The painting is professionally matted and framed - the whole measuring 16.5 x 12.25 in. (42 x 31.5 cm). Colors are bright and overall condition is near fine with some damp-staining to bottom right edge of painting affecting text though not image; while there are scattered paint chips in the background and on the pants of the young male. The whole composition is nicely balanced and pleasingly slightly off center.From an old Pacific Northwest collection - said to have been purchased at auction some half century ago. Painting, beautifully framed and glazed is ready to hang!
