Punjab Sikh Portrait School Miniature Painting is an original Punjab style painting depicting royal portraits and court scenes, hand-painted by Artshaili artists in stone colours with real gold, 9×7.5 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 royal portraits and court scenes in Indian art
Royal portraits and court scenes were at the heart of Indian court painting. Rulers commissioned paintings of themselves in profile, at their darbar, hunting or celebrating festivals, and these works now offer a vivid window into the costumes, jewellery and etiquette of the past.
About the Punjab style
Punjab painting in the Sikh court tradition flourished in the 19th century around Maharaja Ranjit Singh, celebrating Sikh rulers, warriors on horseback, court portraits and scenes of Punjabi life with miniature-level detail. Read our guide to Pahari and hill paintings, which shaped this style.
