Often used to illustrate manuscripts and art books, these paintings are precise despite their diminutive dimensions, with some lines painted using brushes composed of a single hair. For example, the miniature \"Prince with a Falcon\" (1600–05) is only roughly 6 inches tall and 3 inches wide but manages to capture every feather of the bird, the wisps of the prince’s hair, and a menagerie of fluttering birds and hunting lions on his tunic. These miniatures prioritise colour and intricate detail over shading and realistic perspective, resulting in figures that appear static and two-dimensional.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eMughal miniature painting, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leans Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56219134230876,"sku":"Miniature painting, Indian, on paper","price":375.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/8945\/2380\/files\/20171116-DSC_0035_2_-3_36781edf-3767-4d37-8597-0515527bc055.jpg?v=1771603956"},{"product_id":"miniature-painting-indian-visnu-on-a-horse","title":"Miniature Painting, Indian, Vishnu on a Horse, Antique","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-hyphenate: auto; background: white; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto; margin: 5.0pt 0cm .0001pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; color: #002060;\"\u003eKrishna on Nari Ashva (Woman-Horse) — Rare Kandarpa Theme Miniature, Gouache on Paper, 18th Century India\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #41200b; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Georgia',serif;\"\u003eAn exceptional and rare antique Indian miniature depicting Lord Krishna seated upon a fantastical Nari Ashva (woman-horse), a symbolic vehicle formed by the intertwined bodies of devoted Gopis.

The subject lies on her side, one arm resting across her body, revealing meticulous attention to skin tone, texture, and anatomical detail. Earthy, muted colours and dramatic light and shadow accentuate the curves of the figure, while the surrounding bedding and interior create a bold contrast that frames the body. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; color: #002060;\"\u003eA plate with eggs introduces an enigmatic, almost symbolic note, echoing Freud’s thoughtful approach to still life within figurative work.
