Description
A richly detailed Mughal miniature painting depicts women bathing in a palace pool surrounded by elaborate architectural structures, courtyards, and ornamental gardens rendered in warm ochres, deep blues, and terracotta tones. The composition layers multiple planes of activity across the canvas, from the foreground bathing scene through successive architectural pavilions to a distant landscape, all executed with meticulous precision and jewel-like color in the characteristic style of 18th-century Indian court painting. 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.
