Couple With Musicians and Attendant

This beautiful miniature painting features a couple on an imperial terrace, engaged in musical revelry. They are accompanied by an attendant and two musicians who play along in the background. The piece of work comes to life with its detailed execution and brilliant display of colours.

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.
