'A Couple in a Garden'.
A Male Figure Dressed in #European Attire holding a Bottle, Wine Cup & a Hat with his #Indian Dressed Companion is depicted in this c1660 AD #IndianMiniaturePainting from #Golconda #Deccan #India & now for sale at Amir Mohtashemi #Art Dealer at #London
The style of this painting is very close to that of artist Rahim #Deccani
This is a #DeccaniSchool painting, not a #CompanyPainting

'A Goddess with a Female Saint & Acolytes'.
An unusual & important c1675-1725 AD #Deccani #Rajasthani or #Pahari Painting from C. Welch coll sold by Sotheby's
It is suggested that the artist moved from #Aurangabad in #Deccan to #Kishangarh #Rajasthan sometime in c1700 AD. Also has influence of #Mewar & #Bikaner styles.
The face of Goddess, Crown, some of the male figures further suggest a #Pahari connection.

For those who are fans of #TheCrown on #Netflix will recall the famous dialogue of Prince Phillip to the late Queen Elizabeth at her #Coronation
in 1953...
'Where did you get the hat?'
Well, this c1775 AD #Deccani #Painting from the Bonhams sale of 23rd April 2013 would prompt me to put the same question to this 'Ruler with his Mistress and a Child' !
Probably from #Aurangabad #Deccan #India
