EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to 18th century India, specifically Farrukhabad during the Mughal era. The artwork titled "A princess on a terrace with attendants at night" showcases the exquisite talent of Mughal artists in capturing the beauty and elegance of royal life. The vibrant colors and intricate details depicted in opaque watercolor with gold on paper bring this miniature masterpiece to life. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to a moonlit evening where a princess gracefully stands on a terrace surrounded by her loyal attendants. The scene exudes an air of tranquility and serenity as they bask in the enchanting ambiance of the night. On the verso side, delicate lines of Persian poetry written in ink adorn the paper. These six lines add another layer of depth and meaning to this remarkable artwork, inviting us to contemplate their significance within this historical context. Measuring at just 25.4 x 19.7 cm (10 x 7 3/4 in. ), this miniature painting is truly a testament to both artistic skill and attention to detail prevalent during that time period. As we admire this piece from afar, let our imaginations wander through time and space, allowing ourselves to be captivated by its beauty and transported into an era long gone but forever preserved through art.
