A large, heavily gilded Indian. Mughal prince seated in a lavish interior framed in teal and. Depicted in the this delightful. Posed image of a Mughal prince adorned by the trappings of wealth.

His silk robes and sumptuous jewels painted in exquisite detail as befits his. Is very much in the Indian tradition, in which generation after generation of painters recreate images that have gone before with, no doubt, Indian minatures being used as inspiration in this respect.

Tradition, an engraving is laid down on the back of the glass before water or gum arabic paints are applied. This is then fired in a kiln ensuring the paint bonds permanently with the glass. For obvious reasons, they are noted for their sheer brilliance, stunning clarity and use of rich colours. Indian glass paintings celebrate all things.
