This is an antique Indian miniature watercolour painting. It is painted with thick opaque watercolour or gouache and is on paper. It has its original red mount around the image - and is then framed. The frame is a more modern frame.
On stylistic grounds, it probably dates to the early 20th century.
This one features a full-length portrait of a lady. It is painted in watercolours highlighted with gold.
The image shows an Indian lady dressed in a pretty sugar-pink dress. Her dress is a simple fitted one - with lots of loose pleats around the skirt section. She has a long beige silk scarf which is draped over her shoulder. She wears a necklace, bracelets and armbands. She is in an orchard with a tree in the background with tiny blossums. She reaches up her hand to pick one from the branch.
The sky is a thin band of blue to the top of the image - and it has little clouds in it. The bottom section of the painting is an emerald green shade with little flowers near the bottom margin.
The frame is a later one - but it looks just fine on the little artwork. It is a nice clean painting- all ready to hang on your wall. I have taken lots of images so you can see all the details in the work. It will look lovely on display. There is a little ripple to the paper but not noticeable when the work is hung. I have taken this into account with my pricing.
Dimensions: Frame size is 26 x 21 cm. The image size is 15.5 x 9.5 cm.
It is in good condition and is in a vintage dappled silver-tone wooden frame. It is an attractive work for display - and ready for you to just hang on your wall.
