An attractive vintage Indian miniature painting depicting a richly dressed royal female figure or dancer, shown in an elegant traditional pose with her arms extended.
The figure is finely rendered with a decorative crown/headdress, earrings and traditional costume featuring delicate repeated motifs and flowing drapery. The restrained palette of soft pink, cream, burgundy and dark outlining gives the work a distinctive period appearance.
The painting is executed on a firm board/card support and surrounded by a broad dark painted border. The reverse is plain and shows a small amount of old writing/marking.
A charming example of traditional Indian figurative artwork, particularly appealing for collectors of Indian miniature paintings, courtly subjects, folk and decorative art, dance imagery and vintage South Asian works.
