EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the intriguing world of a lady on a terrace in the 20th century. With an air of mystery surrounding her, she is seen indulging in two fascinating pastimes - smoking from a hookah and holding a majestic falcon. The creator of this artwork remains unknown, but it is attributed to a follower of Har Jaimal, adding to its allure. The lady's attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of India, as she dons vibrant robes and an elegant sari. Her profile is beautifully depicted against the backdrop of the terrace, creating a sense of depth and serenity. Opaque watercolor and gold are skillfully employed on paper to bring out every intricate detail. Intriguingly, this image also offers insight into societal roles during that era. A servant can be seen nearby, suggesting that the lady belongs to an affluent household where such luxuries were enjoyed. Displayed at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution, this Indian miniature painting showcases not only artistic mastery but also serves as an educational tool for those interested in exploring different cultures and traditions. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene frozen in time, we are transported back to Hindoostan (India) where falconry was cherished as both sport and art form. This evocative piece invites us to ponder upon the stories behind its subjects while appreciating their beauty through color-filled strokes and delicate brushwork.
