Non-Religious Indian Art

Discover non-religious Indian art through portraits, botanical studies, birds, animals and scenes of everyday life. This collection brings together works with distinct subjects and visual languages, from closely observed detail to expressive pattern.

Explore the subjects

A figure’s gesture, the shape of a flower or the stance of an animal can be the starting point for choosing a work. Look for the details that hold your attention, whether that is an unexpected colour combination or a composition that reveals more each time you see it.

Explore Indo-Mughal prints for figures and settings, Mughal floral prints for botanical ornament, and gallery wall sets for related works presented together.
