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. 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.
