A fine Indian Company School miniature depicting the Taj Mahal in Agra, dating from the 19th century. The celebrated monument is shown in a detailed frontal view, with its great central dome, four minarets and surrounding architecture rendered with remarkable precision. Finely painted with delicate colouring, probably on ivory, the miniature demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship associated with Indian architectural painting of the period. Set within an attractive silvered metal frame, probably copper. An unusually detailed and beautifully executed depiction of one of India’s most iconic monuments.
