Pair of Mughal‑style Silk Paintings, “Tiger Hunt” India

Vivid hand‑painted scenes of a princely tiger hunt—one from elephant back, one from horseback—after classic Mughal/Rajput miniatures. Executed in opaque pigments on silk with stylised hills and attendants below, these works capture the drama and pageantry of the royal shikar that filled Indian court painting from the 16th century onward. Purchased in India in 1988–1990 (labels to reverse). Presented in later frames. Origin: India, Mughal‑style workshop Medium: Pigments on silk Notes: Available as a matched pair; conservation framing available on request. A striking, decorative pair for a gallery wall, library, or maximalist interior. Provenance: Handwritten labels on the backs note purchase in Trivandrum (Kerala) in 1988 and in Goa in Feb. 1990 (“1 of 3”). Both areas exported Mughal‑style paintings on silk to travelers in the 1980s–90s. No workshop signature; likely Indian workshop production.
