A SET OF THREE INDIAN MINIATURES, DEPICTING COURTLY AND ROYAL HUNTING SCENES
India, Ca. 20th century .
A set of three finely painted Indian miniatures, each depicting scenes of royal or courtly life, characteristic of traditional Mughal and Rajput styles. The left and right panels illustrate elaborately adorned elephants carrying noble figures in richly decorated howdahs, attended by mahouts and guards. The central panel portrays a serene courtly gathering, where a noble figure is surrounded by musicians and attendants in a lush outdoor setting. Rendered in delicate brushstrokes with vibrant pigments and gold detailing, these paintings evoke the refinement and grandeur of classical Indian miniature traditions. Each composition is framed in a neutral-toned mount.
