專家說明

The painting here clearly shows that it has been worked by a Delhi-trained artist both in the painting of the figures and in their setting within a landscape with trees. The margin is an unusually brightly colored version of a Mughal floral lattice. A similar margin is found surrounding a painting by the Lucknow artist Mir Kalan Khan in the Catherine and Ralph Benkaim Collection (Steven Markel and Tushara Bindu Gude, India’s Fabled City: The Art of Courtly Lucknow, Los Angeles, 2011, no.17, p.168).
