Indo-Persian Mughal Miniatures

Fascinating to consider that Rembrandt had a collection of more than two dozen Mughal paintings, from which he made pen and ink studies. He also created his own series of meticulous drawings depicting emperors and courtiers from Mughal India.

Newly listed, we have four vibrant 19th-century Indo-Persian Mughal miniatures. Essentially a court art, Mughal painting was distinguished by its richness of materials, delicate craftsmanship and countless stylistic innovations. The art was a reflection of court life, and the emperors themselves engaged enthusiastically in music, literature, dance, art and architecture.
