About the piece
This 1749 Indian miniature captures a moment of courtly leisure, featuring a lady seated upon an ornate red bolster. Attended by two servants—one fanning her with a decorative whisk—she smokes from a hookah, set against a vibrant yellow background and a lush row of stylized trees. The piece showcases the delicate line work and rich, earthy palette characteristic of traditional Indian miniature painting.
