This original gouache painting pair dates from the mid 19th Century within the Mughal style. The paper artworks feature detailed ink calligraphy above evening lakeside landscape scenes depicting lovers in a tent setting, rendered in tones of green, blue, and pink. The panels are set within a quality oak frame featuring mitred corner mouldings, accompanied by a gold mount. The visible timber shows a warm brown grain with natural texture. Measuring 34 cm high by 34 cm wide, the square piece suits placement on a narrow wall space, particularly within a gentleman's library. Hanging hardware is positioned at the rear to mount the artwork securely at eye level on any flat surface.

FAQs

The Mughal School developed in the Indian subcontinent between the 16th and 19th centuries, blending Persian, Indian, and European artistic influences into highly detailed, small-scale miniature compositions.

Artists used opaque watercolour (gouache) made from natural mineral pigments, gold leaf, and fine ink on handmade paper, using delicate brushes crafted from fine animal hair.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural age-related toning on handmade paper, intricate calligraphy, fine line work, and layered mineral pigments that produce distinct luminous tones.

Display the framed piece in an entryway, library, or alongside contemporary art on a gallery wall to create a rich contrast of period styles.

Keep the artwork behind UV-filtering glass with acid-free mounting, and display it away from direct sunlight, excess moisture, and extreme climate changes.
