Portrait of A Lady Mughal Painting is an original Mughal style painting depicting graceful women and heroines, hand-painted by Artshaili artists in stone colours with real gold, 5×4.5 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 Mughal style
Mughal painting developed in the royal workshops of Akbar, Jahangir and Shah Jahan from the mid-16th century, where Persian and Indian artists worked together. It is famous for naturalistic portraits, detailed court and garden scenes, and exquisite studies of birds, animals and flowers framed by decorated borders. Artists used very fine brushes, hand-ground mineral colours and gold, building up the image in thin layers and burnishing the surface to a soft shine. Read our guide to Mughal miniature painting.
