A richly dressed courtier approaches a Mughal ruler seated upon an ornate throne within an elaborately decorated palace chamber, surrounded by attendants in jewel-toned silks and intricate patterned garments. Golden walls frame arched doorways and delicate architectural details, while the composition layers figures across the scene in the detailed miniature style characteristic of 16th-century Indian court painting, suffused with warm ochres, deep blues, and crimson accents. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
