Portrait of a Lady Mughal Style Painting – Kishangarh Shaili Handpainted Miniature Art is an original Kishangarh style painting depicting graceful women and heroines, hand-painted by Artshaili artists in stone colours, 5.8×7.6 in. It is a genuine handmade artwork, not a print, so every brushstroke is unique and small variations from the photos are natural.
The meaning of graceful women and heroines in Indian art
Graceful women, queens and heroines (nayikas) are among the most painted subjects in Indian art. Painters show them dressing, waiting for a beloved, playing music or enjoying gardens, each pose linked to a mood from poetry and music.
About the Kishangarh style
Kishangarh painting, from the Rajput court near Ajmer, is the most elegant Rajasthani school. Under Raja Sawant Singh in the 18th century, the painter Nihal Chand created its ideal of beauty: elongated faces, lotus-shaped eyes, arched brows and sharp profiles, set in dreamy lake landscapes. Its icon is the Bani Thani. Read our Bani Thani and Kishangarh guide.
