Miniature Painting Indian Prince with Princess and consorts

Description

Mughal Courtly Romance — Prince with Consort and Attendants, Gouache Miniature with Gilt Floral Border, 18th–19th Century

A finely detailed Mughal miniature painting depicting an intimate courtly scene of a prince seated with his beloved consort, attended by elegantly dressed female attendants within a palace pavilion. One attendant offers refreshments while another gently fans the couple, evoking the refined etiquette and luxury of Mughal court life. Executed in gouache on paper using traditional natural pigments — including vegetable dyes and finely ground mineral colours — the composition displays jewel-like tones, delicate facial modelling, and intricate textile patterns. The scene is enclosed within a richly decorated gilt floral border, characteristic of late Mughal atelier work. Likely dating to the 18th or early 19th century. Condition appears very good with strong colour retention and minor age-related wear.

Dimensions: 12 x 7.5 inches
