About This Item
Fine painting with Mughal influences, showing a gold-coloured domestic falcon, loosely tied to an elegant, decorated outdoor stand with a waterlily pond forming a background. With four decorative painted borders in various colours and gold, showing various floral and other motifs. The wide outermost border gives the illusion of a mosaic wall behind the painting and other borders. It is executed in the traditional Mughal geometric tiling pattern of 8-pointed stars separated by crosses, each each of the 24 stars containing a small colour painting of a bird, including some from the heron and pigeon families.An extremely attractive falcon painting in Mughal style, in fine condition.
