An Indian Mughal Style Miniature Painting of a Seated Saint with Disciples, 18th–19th Century.
This finely rendered miniature painting depicts a revered figure from the Mughal era, seated in spiritual discourse with his followers, rendered in the intricate style of northern Indian miniature schools. Likely dating to the 18th or 19th century, the scene unfolds in a lush courtyard flanked by Mughal-style pavilions, rich in architectural detail and vibrant color.
The central figure, identifiable by his ornate green robe and radiant halo, is portrayed in the company of disciples—possibly Bhai Bala and Bhai Mardana—two figures often associated with hagiographic traditions such as the Janam-sakhi manuscripts.
Approximately 27.4 x 21.1cm
Provenance: From the distinguished private collection of Jane Watson Asherfield.
