Antique Indian Miniature Painting – Courtly Erotic Scene in the Riti Kala Tradition

A finely executed Indian miniature painting depicting an intimate royal court scene in the traditional Riti Kala manner. The composition portrays a princely figure attended by female companions within an elegant interior setting, rendered with delicate line work and refined detail characteristic of classical Indian miniature art.

The figures are carefully outlined with subtle shading and highlighted with gold accents in their jewellery and adornments. Rich textiles and decorative cushions add colour and balance to the restrained architectural backdrop. The stylised treatment of form, expressive gestures, and poised arrangement of the group reflect the storytelling traditions associated with courtly and romantic themes in Indian painting.

Executed on handmade paper, the work displays the smooth yet tactile surface typical of traditional techniques. The restrained palette, precise brushwork, and ornamental detailing demonstrate the skill of the artist and the enduring appeal of this genre.

A decorative and culturally evocative piece, ideal for collectors of Indian miniatures, courtly art, or traditional South Asian painting.
