FAQs

Mughal miniature painting is a South Asian art form that developed in the courts of the Mughal Empire during the 16th to 19th centuries, blending Persian, Indian, and Islamic artistic traditions.

Authentic pieces typically utilise handmade paper, natural mineral and vegetable pigments mixed with water-soluble binders, and sometimes gold leaf accents.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the fineness of the brushwork, the presence of natural ageing on the paper or pigments, traditional calligraphy borders, and the type of paper used.

This artwork can be displayed on a gallery wall alongside contemporary pieces or highlighted on a narrow wall space to draw the eye, using conservation-grade framing to protect the pigments.

To preserve these works, keep them away from direct sunlight, maintain stable humidity levels, and frame them behind UV-filtering glass.
