Description

An early 20thc Indian Mughal style watercolour c1920. Painted in the Mughal style of miniature painting, the picture has a wide detailed colourful floral border. Within that are at least 10 different colour bands to frame the central scene of a nobleman, carrying a spear, riding his gaily caparisoned trotting elephant. His manservant rides pillion, waving a white plume. The background suggests a desert like landscape, with some ground foliage. Though the picture is overall quite large (see dimensions) it is painted in the style of Mughal miniature painting, an unchanged style for centuries.

The frame and back are original, never opened up, and these give me a better idea of age.

This is a very striking, decorative and colourful picture.

There are some unavoidable reflections in the photos due to the glazing. These are not present on the image.

Image outside border 53cm x 40cm

Image inside border and bands 33cm x 23cm
