Lady Escorted By Attendants

Offering the lure of storytelling in a visual form, this is an arresting miniature painting. It narrates a scene of a couple sitting under a canopy in an open air setting. Their attention is focused on a lady who is being escorted by attendants. The ability to depict various emotions of the subjects in a small frame is reflective of the remarkable talent of the artists.

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.
