Description
A nawab on horseback commands the composition in the foreground, dressed in rich burgundy and cream garments while attendants and courtiers gather across a verdant landscape dotted with trees and flowering plants. Rendered in the characteristic style of Indian miniature painting, the work layers warm ochres, deep greens, and jewel tones beneath a stormy sky, with a fortified palace visible in the distance, evoking a moment of courtly leisure and power. Precision-cut from thick, satin-finish paperboard and made to order, in 500 or 1,000 pieces. An afternoon spent building an independent artist's work.
