Shakuntala Ki Vidaai Miniature Painting in Kishangarh Style is an original Kishangarh style painting depicting royal portraits and court scenes, hand-painted by Artshaili artists in stone colours. 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 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.
