Royal Procession Leaving City

Offering a visual narrative of a royal procession leaving the city, this splendid miniature painting comprises three separate paintings that unfold like a story. Each is deeply detailed and appears as if caught in movement. The sense of revelry and gaiety that comes out of the artwork is almost infectious.

The process of painting on old paper as in this particular work, is a complicated one, where the page, taken from an old book, is first cleaned and then painted upon.
