Description

Late 18th Century Mughal Miniature Portrait of a Princess – Gouache on Paper

An exquisite late-18^th-century Indian miniature painting depicting a regal princess in profile, rendered in the refined Mughal court style. Executed in gouache on paper, the work displays the delicate linework, soft shading, and intricate ornamentation characteristic of Mughal portraiture, including elaborate jewellery, a finely detailed headdress, and elegant costume. The poised expression and stylised features convey the grace and sophistication associated with royal portrait miniatures of the period.

Measuring approximately 14 x 9 inches (36 x 23 cm), the painting shows age-related wear consistent with its antiquity, including minor surface marks and discolouration, which attest to its historical authenticity. A beautiful example of Mughal miniature art and a distinguished addition to any collection of Indian or Oriental paintings.
