Description
A palatial scene unfolds across three stacked registers framed in deep red and gray borders, rendered in the jewel-toned palette and intricate linear detail of Indian miniature painting. Golden domes crown the architecture above, while figures in jeweled dress occupy terraced spaces, a flowering tree rises on the right, and vessels and goods fill the foreground, all executed with meticulous brushwork and warm ochres, blues, and greens. 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.
