Emperor With Attendants - II

Offering a glimpse into the rich and magnificent life of erstwhile Mughal royalty, this elaborate miniature painting strikes awe with its ornate setting and brilliant execution of details. It features an emperor sitting under a canopy being served by three attendants.

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.
