About the artwork
Two Mughal court ladies, painted in profile, framed in the oval format the imperial ateliers reserved for their most intimate portraits. One in sage green, a strand of pearls catching the light, a small vessel held between her fingers. The other in deep plum, a stringed instrument resting against her shoulder, mid-thought. Together they read as a private gallery of court life, the kind of pairing a connoisseur would have kept close rather than displayed.
Both compositions follow the Mughal portrait miniature tradition, where oval framing and a muted grey ground were used to draw full attention to the sitter.
Profile pose, fine line work in the jewellery and drapery, and a restrained palette that lets the personality of each woman come through rather than the spectacle around her. No architecture, no garden, no narrative scene. Just two women, observed closely.
Produced as museum-grade archival prints on heavyweight 310 GSM cotton paper.
Pigment inks rated for 100+ years of fade resistance. The fine detail in the pearl strands, the textile patterning, and the aged warm-toned border is preserved with archival fidelity. The prints read closer to hand-finished portrait miniatures than to reproductions.
Sized for intimate placement. Works beautifully in a bedroom, a study, a powder room, or as a small accent pairing on a gallery wall alongside larger pieces. The sage and plum tones sit quietly against cream, lime-washed, or warm wood interiors, adding colour without overwhelming a room. Hung close together, the pair reads as a single conversation between two sitters.
Collectors and design-aware buyers choose Mughal portrait miniatures when theywant Indian art that is personal rather than devotional or narrative. The oval
format and the close profile view bring an intimacy that larger Pichwai or Ramayana compositions don't attempt. It is the kind of pairing that rewards a guest who actually stops to look.
Available in sizes from 8x12 to 30x40 inches per print, with both prints supplied in matched dimensions. Framing optional. Sold as a curated set of two.

FAQ
Is this a set of hand-painted Mughal miniatures or prints?
This is a set of two museum-grade archival prints of Mughal court portrait miniatures. For hand-painted originals, write to the studio for current availability.
Where can I buy Mughal portrait miniature prints online?
Right here. The pair is produced in-house at Nakhrro on archival cotton paper, packed for archival pieces, and shipped from Jaipur with full tracking.
Are the two prints supplied in matched sizes?
Yes. The set is supplied as a matched pair in the same dimensions. The size chosen at checkout applies to both prints.
What is the Mughal portrait miniature tradition?
Mughal portrait miniatures were intimate studies of court figures, typically shown in profile against a plain ground, often in an oval frame. The format prioritised the sitter's likeness and adornment over narrative or architectural detail, distinct from the more populated Mughal flora or hunting scenes.
Are these archival quality prints?
Yes. Each print is produced on 310 GSM cotton-based archival paper using pigment inks rated for 100+ years of fade resistance, the same standard used by museums and serious collectors.
Do the prints come framed?
Framing is offered as an add-on in select finishes. Choose framed or unframed at checkout. Unframed prints ship rolled in protective tubes.
Can this set be ordered in a larger size?
The set is available from 8x12 to 30x40 inches per print. For sizes beyond the listed range, custom sizing is available on request.

FAQ
Clear answers on authenticity, materials, framing, delivery and care.
What is the difference between a hand-painted original and a museum-grade print?
A hand-painted original is individually painted and carries brushwork and natural variation. A museum-grade print is a high-fidelity archival reproduction, available in more sizes at a more accessible price.
Should I choose archival paper or canvas?
Archival matte paper has a smooth, refined finish for crisp detail. Hahnemühle Daguerre Canvas has a fine woven texture and a more painterly presence.
Will the print fade or turn yellow?
Pigment inks and acid-free archival media are designed to remain fade-resistant for 80+ years under normal indoor display conditions and resist yellowing. Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Is the frame included?
Only when you select a framed option. Unframed prints arrive securely rolled in a protective tube; framed artworks arrive safely packed and ready to hang.
Will the colours and dimensions be exactly as shown?
Every print is carefully colour-matched, although screens may show slight differences. We preserve the original composition, so final dimensions may vary slightly rather than cropping the artwork.
Can I order a custom size?
Selected artworks can be produced in custom sizes while preserving their proportions. Share your wall photo and measurements with us before ordering.
How is the artwork packed and when will it arrive?
Prints are made to order in 3–5 working days. India delivery usually takes 4–7 days; international delivery takes approximately 7–15 days unframed and 15–20 days framed.
What if the artwork arrives damaged?
Made-to-order prints cannot be returned for a change of mind or incorrect size selection. Report transit damage with photographs or an unboxing video within 24 hours of delivery and we will resolve it promptly.
