An Indian Miniature Illustrated Album Leaf of a Portrait of a Noblewoman Holding a Wine Cup and Flask, Circa Late 20th Century.
An Indian miniature painting in opaque watercolour heightened with gold on paper, presented as an illustrated album leaf within a deep red border and fine inner framing lines. The composition depicts a noblewoman shown in profile, kneeling gracefully upon a grassy ground beneath a softly rendered sky with stylised cloud forms.
She is richly adorned in traditional attire, wearing a vibrant red and cream skirt patterned with repeating motifs, a golden-yellow choli, and a translucent purple veil decorated with dotted ornamentation. Her jewellery includes elaborate earrings, necklaces, bangles, and a forehead ornament, all delicately detailed with fine brushwork and touches of gold.
Approximately 13.1 x 8.3cm
