She holds a vina, a traditional stringed instrument, while her posture suggests a moment of musical performance. The composition is framed within an oval, a common device in Mughal miniature painting that draws the eye directly to the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lady wears a translucent purple garment adorned with gold patterns, draped over her shoulders. Her jewellery, consisting of multiple strands of pearls and a prominent ruby pendant, reflects the material culture of the Mughal court. The artist employs fine brushwork to delineate her features, particularly the profile of her face and the delicate placement of her hands upon the instrument. The background is a muted, dark grey tone, which provides contrast to the lighter skin tones and the decorative elements of her attire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuch paintings were often produced for albums, intended for private viewing by patrons. The focus remains on the grace of the figure and the technical skill required to render the textures of fabric and jewellery. The use of gold leaf adds a subtle luminosity to the borders and the lady's ornaments, typical of the period's aesthetic. This piece offers a glimpse into the artistic conventions of the mid-1700s, where portraiture served to document the elegance and refinement associated with courtly life. The work remains a clear example of the precision and stylistic restraint characteristic of the later Mughal tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/the-handmaiden-again-appeals-for-justice-and-the-prince-is-led-to-the-place-of-execution-for-the-third-time-from-a-tuti-nama-tales-of-a-parrot-eighth-night-gujarati-school\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe handmaiden again appeals for justice and the prince is led to the place of execution for the third time, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Eighth Night - Gujarati School — Gujarati School\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/women-enjoying-the-river-at-the-forest-s-edge-hunhar-ii\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eWomen Enjoying the River at the Forest’s Edge - Hunhar II — Hunhar II\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Muhammad Rizavi Hindi","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58792658764111,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58792683700559,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58792683733327,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58792683766095,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58792683798863,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58792683831631,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58792683864399,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58792683897167,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58792683929935,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58792683962703,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58792683995471,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58792684028239,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Court-lady-singing-and-playing-the-vina_Poster_CompositorV1_1789512857543.jpg?v=1789513554"},{"product_id":"court-lady-pouring-wine-muhammad-rizavi-hindi","title":"Court Lady Pouring Wine - Muhammad Rizavi Hindi","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined 18th-century Mughal miniature portrait of a court lady, rendered in opaque watercolour and gold on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work by Muhammad Rizavi Hindi, an artist active in the mid-18th century, belongs to the tradition of Mughal miniature painting. The composition features a female figure in profile, a standard convention for courtly portraiture of the period. She is depicted in the act of pouring wine, a common motif that allowed artists to demonstrate their skill in rendering delicate gestures and fine accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure wears a translucent green veil over a choli, adorned with multiple strands of pearls and precious stones. The artist employs a refined technique, using thin brushes to define the facial features and the texture of the jewellery. The background is a muted, dark grey oval, which serves to isolate the subject and focus attention on her attire and the objects she holds. This oval is set within a rectangular frame, a common format for such miniatures, which were often collected in albums or muraqqa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour palette is balanced, relying on the contrast between the cool green of the garment and the warm, golden tones of the border. The application of gold leaf on the jewellery and the edges of the veil adds a subtle luminosity to the piece. The work reflects the stylistic preferences of the later Mughal period, where portraiture became increasingly focused on individual characterisation while maintaining the formal constraints of the courtly aesthetic. The precision of the line work and the careful layering of pigments are characteristic of the high level of craftsmanship expected in royal workshops. This print captures the original's delicate balance of colour and form, offering a clear view of the artist's attention to detail in the rendering of textiles and ornaments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/a-lady-with-attendants-nainsukh\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Lady with Attendants - Nainsukh — Nainsukh\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Muhammad Rizavi Hindi","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58806758015311,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58806816211279,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58806816244047,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58806816276815,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58806816309583,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58806816342351,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58806816375119,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58806816407887,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58806816440655,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58806816473423,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58806816506191,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58806816538959,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Court-Lady-Pouring-Wine_Poster_CompositorV1_1789657450140.jpg?v=1789658394"},{"product_id":"posthumous-portrait-of-the-mughal-emperor-muhammad-shah-holding-a-falcon-muhammad-rizavi-hindi-1","title":"Posthumous portrait of the Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah holding a falcon - Muhammad Rizavi Hindi","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined Mughal miniature portrait of Emperor Muhammad Shah, depicted in profile with a falcon, rendered in opaque watercolour and gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exquisite miniature painting depicts the Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah, who reigned from 1719 to 1748. Created by the artist Muhammad Rizavi Hindi, the work follows the established conventions of mid-eighteenth-century Mughal court portraiture. The emperor is shown in profile, a standard pose that emphasises the regal features and dignified bearing expected of a sovereign. He is dressed in a vibrant green jama, adorned with strings of pearls and precious gemstones, which reflect the immense wealth and aesthetic refinement of the Mughal court.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCentral to the composition is the falcon perched upon the emperor's gloved hand. Falconry was a favoured pastime among the Mughal elite, serving as a symbol of nobility, patience, and martial prowess. The bird is rendered with careful attention to its plumage and alert posture. Behind the emperor, a golden halo radiates against a dark background, a visual device used to denote divine authority and the exalted status of the ruler. The lower border of the painting features a delicate floral pattern, a common decorative element in manuscripts and albums of this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technique employed is typical of the period, utilising opaque watercolour and gold leaf to achieve a luminous, jewel-like quality. The artist demonstrates a high level of precision in the rendering of the jewellery, the texture of the textiles, and the subtle shading of the emperor's face. This portrait, produced after the emperor's death, functions as a commemorative image, preserving the memory of his reign through the formal language of courtly art. The work is a fine example of the technical skill and stylistic consistency maintained by artists working within the Mughal tradition during its later stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/portrait-of-the-aged-akbar-govardhan\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of the Aged Akbar - Govardhan — Govardhan\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/akbar-supervising-the-capture-of-wild-elephants-at-malwa-in-1564-farukh-chela\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAkbar supervising the capture of wild elephants at Malwa in 1564 - Farukh Chela — Farukh Chela\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Muhammad Rizavi Hindi","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58806833578319,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58806923264335,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58806923297103,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58806923329871,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58806923362639,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58806923395407,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58806923428175,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58806923460943,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58806923493711,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58806923526479,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58806923559247,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58806923592015,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Posthumous-portrait-of-the-Mughal-emperor-Muhammad-Shah-holding-a-falcon_Poster_CompositorV1_1789658006848.jpg?v=1789658842"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/nl\/collections\/muhammad-rizavi-hindi.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
