{"product_id":"mother-and-child-mughal-school","title":"Mother and Child - Mughal School","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate seventeenth-century Mughal drawing of a mother and child, presented within a traditional gold-flecked border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis delicate drawing originates from the Mughal period, a time when the imperial workshops of India produced works of exceptional technical precision. The composition focuses on a seated woman interacting with a small child, rendered with fine, controlled lines that define the contours of their forms and the folds of their garments. The artist employs a restrained palette, allowing the focus to remain on the interaction between the figures and the subtle modelling of their features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is presented within a traditional border, a hallmark of Mughal manuscript presentation. The surrounding mount features a deep green ground flecked with gold leaf, which provides a contrast to the muted tones of the central drawing. This style of mounting was common for individual folios intended for inclusion in a royal album or muraqqa. The inclusion of a halo around the woman suggests a status of reverence or divinity, often seen in depictions of figures from religious or courtly narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the drawing demonstrates the characteristic Mughal interest in naturalism combined with a decorative approach to page layout. The figures are placed against a minimal background, which directs the viewer to the gestures and expressions of the subjects. The use of ink wash provides a sense of volume, while the calligraphic quality of the line work reflects the training of court artists in both calligraphy and painting. This piece offers a glimpse into the aesthetic values of the seventeenth-century Mughal court, where the synthesis of Persian influence and indigenous Indian traditions created a distinct visual language. The preservation of the original border and the gold-flecked paper adds to the historical character of the folio, maintaining the presentation style favoured by collectors of the era.\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=\"\/sv\/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=\"\/sv\/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":"Mughal School","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59006579573071,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59006580228431,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59006580261199,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59006580293967,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59006580326735,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59006580359503,"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":59006580392271,"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":59006580425039,"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":59006580457807,"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":59006580490575,"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":59006580523343,"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":59006580556111,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Mother-and-Child_Poster_CompositorV1_1791159577334.jpg?v=1791159890","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/mother-and-child-mughal-school","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
