A delicate hand-painted Indian miniature on paper depicting a moonlit courtyard scene: a noble and his companion seated on patterned carpets within a pavilion, the night sky pricked with stars and a slim crescent. The work is finely detailed with jewelled costumes, architectural panels and a foliate ground, all within a traditional floral border.
Presented in a period ebonised frame with gilt slip and glazed; the back is wired for hanging as shown. Condition is lovely and decorative with light age toning to the paper, a few tiny specks and handling marks to the mount, and minor scuffs to the frame—nothing that detracts from display. A romantic, atmospheric piece that styles beautifully with old-world, maximalist and “old money” interiors.
Measurements: 40 x 61cm
