offers Several years ago my sister in law, Reeli, took me to an amazing exhibition of Indian miniature paintings in a Swiss museum...I have never forgotten it! The rich colors, the intricacy of detail, the costumes and the lush settings have stayed in my mind for all these years, Of course, these were historic treasures on display...made from the wishes and dreams of the artists who created these totally remarkable little gems of their history through the centuries. The experience blew me away and has stayed with me all these years!

Indian paintings have been admired and collected for centuries...but it seems that only recently has the world began to truly appreciate their beauty and value. It could also be that I have been enlightened to their place in the history of an ancient culture...a culture that i never studied when I was in grad school at The University of Michigan with a History of Art major.
The style of this small treasure is very classically Indian. This is a vintage piece of artwork from the mid century. It is painted in the traditional style.
Beautiful rich colors. Attention to detail. Highly decorated ( note the lovely "garland" of flowers used like a border surrounding the scene like a modern day mat).
The backing is bone..
There is nothing like owning an original work of art ...and this miniature is a real treasure. What can I say...it is a wonderful thing!
