EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "A Couple Converse" from the 15th century, a stunning piece of Indian artwork. Created using opaque watercolor and ink on paper, this masterpiece measures 33.5 x 25.3 cm and is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The painting is a detached folio from a dispersed copy of Shirin-u-Khusraw, part of a Khamsa (Quintet) by Amir Khusraw Dihlavi. The exquisite details and delicate brushwork highlight the skillful craftsmanship of the Indian School during this period. Featuring Nastaliq script calligraphy, Persian poems, and Islamic art influences, this artwork reflects both cultural diversity and artistic brilliance. It offers an insight into pre-Mughal India's rich heritage with its depiction of figures engaged in conversation. The acquisition of this remarkable piece was made possible through generous contributions from various sources including the Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds, Smithsonian Collections Acquisition Program, and Dr. Arthur M. Sackler. With its intricate design and historical significance within Delhi Sultanate's era (1206-1526), this print serves as a testament to India's vibrant artistic traditions. Its inclusion in Henri Vever Collection further adds to its prestige. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured every detail for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate and admire without commercial use restrictions or copyright limitations.
