About the piece
This exquisite miniature painting from circa 1700 depicts Prince Bedar Bakht, grandson of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, during his tenure as Governor of Western Deccan. Seated on a lush floral carpet and leaning against traditional bolsters, the prince is shown in a moment of leisure, listening to musicians against the backdrop of a rolling landscape and river. The work showcases the delicate brushwork and rich palette characteristic of the period's courtly art, from the intricate patterns of the textiles to the soft gradients of the sunset sky.
