About the piece

Originating from late 18th-century India, this painting from the Kangra School showcases a raja and his beloved consort in a serene courtly setting. They are surrounded by female attendants who fan the couple and tend to their needs, set against a backdrop of refined architecture and a tranquil fountain. The work is a masterful example of the Pahari style, noted for its delicate line work and luminous palette.
