**First Time At Auction**
South Asia, India, Mughal Period, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. Finely delineated in rich jewel tone pigments and gold leaf on fabric, an action-packed painting of a fascinating scene in which an emperor or nobleman riding an elephant and dressed in opulent garments as well as a bejeweled turban is about to spear a ferocious tiger who is attacking a fallen man below. Seven other men, some riding horseback, are also engaged in the hunt or battle, and one man is being chased up a tree by a tiger, perhaps to provide a bit of comic relief. The composition is surrounded by a floral border delineated in golden hues on a midnight blue ground. Size: 9.375" L x 6" W (23.8 cm x 15.2 cm); 18.1255" L x 13" W (46 cm x 33 cm) framed
The Mughals, Islamic dynasty rulers of northern India between 1526 and 1857, were known for their great patronage of the arts. Artists created intricate paintings and illuminated manuscripts depicting scenes of daily life, adventurous tales, mythological and royalty scenes. The compositions are beautifully balanced and finely painted in rich tones.
Miniature painting emerged in Persian art during the 13th century. Following the Mongol conquests, the genre displayed strong Chinese influence, and the tradition reached its peak during the 15th and 16th centuries. Furthermore, Persian miniature painting influenced other Islamic miniature traditions, including the Ottoman miniatures created in Turkey as well as the Mughal miniatures of India.
Mughal painting refers to a type of miniature painting - either serving as book illustrations or created as single work. The term miniature suggests a tiny scale; however, it actually indicates a style of watercolor work similar to early European book illustrations that used the red pigment minia, and some Indian miniatures are in fact quite large. The Mughal style stems from Persian miniature painting, though with Indian Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist influences, evolving largely throughout the Mughal Empire (16th to 19th centuries), and eventually spreading to other Indian courts - Muslim, Hindu, and Sikh - flourishing during the reigns of Akbar, Shah Jahan, and Jahangir. The tradition continues today with Mughal-style miniature paintings still being created, though only by a relatively small number of artists in Rajasthan.
