Mughal-style handpainted scene of Rajah, framed

This is a 20th century hand-painted page copying either an original or inspired by a 19th century illuminated manuscript page having script both above and below the image, 8-1/2″h x 5″w, in a purple mat “floated” over a white backing with in molded goldtone frame, 15-1/2″h x 1-1/2″w. Note the significant detail in the painting of the male figures, almost having individually recognizable faces as they stand on three levels before the seated Rajah underneath a pavilion on the top level, backed by plants with pink flowers.

Painting Antique Oil on Canvas Scene Of Style Portrait Woman Year Crazy 1920

Subject: This is an “academic female nude”, representing a woman seated facing on a bench, a chair or a wooden bench with bars. It is installed on a white drape which falls to the ground. She tackles a short haircut from the Roaring Twenties 1920-1930. Background: The background is treated in a very sober and textured way, in dark and cold tones (gray-blue, metallic gray-green). On the left, an ocher/olive green colored fabric or sheer curtain appears to hang from the back of the seat, providing a subtle touch of color. Artistic movement: The style evokes the painting of the **first half of the 20th century** (possibly the modernist school, the realism of the 1920s or the influence of painters like André Derain or the School of Paris). The shapes are full, generous and sculptural. Color p.
