Miniature delle corti indiane
Pittura indiana
Piccoli dipinti dalle corti del Rajasthan e dalle colline del Punjab, fatti fra il 1520 e il 1870 circa. Rama e Sita nella foresta, Krishna in mezzo ai lottatori, un maharana su uno stallone grigio, una dama allo specchio, una partita a pachisi su una terrazza. Nainsukh, Chokha, Ghasi e lo Stipple Master lavoravano a colore opaco e oro, e incorniciavano quasi ognuno di questi fogli con un bordo rosso o blu.
Come puzzle
Accogliente, e più acceso di qualunque altra cosa qui. Il colore è steso piatto e non mescolato, così un pezzo di bordo scarlatto o di cielo zafferano ha un posto evidente, e i bordi dipinti ti consegnano presto il perimetro. Le figure portano tutto il dettaglio fine, tienile per ultime. Due terzi vengono più larghi che alti.
Una buona misura qui: 60–250 pezzi.
