**Originally Listed At $400**
South Asia, India, ca. early 20th century. A wonderful pair of pendant portraits depicting an Indian man and woman. The young lady is presented in half-length, balancing a large basket of fruit upon her head, her body clad in colorful sari fabrics of lapis lazuli blue and ruby red hues with golden trim adorning her arms and midriff. Lustrous gold jewelry - including multiple bracelets, earrings, a large nose ring, as well as a gold and gemstone necklace further embellishes her striking appearance. The man is depicted bust length, his distinguished visage marked with a full moustache and beard, looking toward his left. He wears a bright green turban with a red cap atop, a white button-down dress shirt, and a navy blue vest with gold flourishes serving as a border. A beautiful pair of painted portraits that resonate with the Mughal painting tradition of India.
