#16 Exquisite and delicately hand painted Moghul miniature of a Mughal king and two royal concubines seated on an oriental rug with a moonlit scene of hills in the background.
The intricacy and skill of the artist is evident from the fine faces and beaded jewellery worn by the ladies and king, and the detail of the oriental carpet.
This masterpiece has been painted on the page of an antique Urdu book, as can be seen.
There are bands of script above and beneath the painting, and also hand scripted writing on the back.
A beautiful and fine original piece of vintage Rajasthani / Indian artwork.
It dates back to my travels in India in the 1990s.
Due to the vintage nature of the antique book paper the painting has been executed on, there may be a few small marks, dog ears, or rough edges indicative of paper of this age, but this does not detract from the overall quality and look of the painting.
Please look at the photographs carefully and feel free to ask any questions you like.
The painting measures approximately 9 cm x 15.25 cm, and the mount 18 cm x 27 cm.
PAINTINGS #15, #16, #17 ARE PART OF A SET.

I AM WILLING TO TAKE AN OFFER FOR ALL THREE.

I am having a huge sale of eclectic and wonderful new things, recently brought back from my travels round India, plus a large selection of discounted and left-over stock from my festival trading business, as well as collectables, antiques, art, china, brick-a-brack, and a whole cornucopia of delightful bling.
PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT MY OTHER THINGS TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU FANCY.
I will be posting new items regularly.
I offer combined postage when applicable.
Please ask if it doesn't come up automatically. My postal rates
take the fees I have to pay to eBay / PayPal into account,
and I try to be fair. I send most parcels 'tracked & signed',
and won't sell off eBay for the protection of us both. Please
don't bid if you feel the postage is too much. It's what I end up
paying, plus a small amount for packing. My company, 'Susumama
World Wear', uses fair trade criteria, and has a strong environmental
policy, so most of our packing materials are recycled and / or biodegradable.
