Royalty on Terrace with Attendants

Capturing a moment of revelry, this miniature painting depicts a royal man in an open air setting. He is being entertained by a dancer and three attendants. The vibrant hues and ornate ambience, combined with the beauty of nature in the backdrop all add to the appeal.

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.
