This Mughal miniature was painted at one of the princely courts of India. It depicts a raven-haired princess in a gold-trimmed saffron-colored silk sari. Under a glowering evening sky she dawdles on a white marble terrace, with a pet fawn on a leash, before a landscape dotted with buildings nestled amongst trees beyond a river. Her hair, falling loosely about her shoulders, rather than carefully dressed on her head, indicates that she is a maiden. The overall mood is one of expectancy. Perhaps walking a pet and catching an evening breeze is a pretext to escape palace scrutiny for a lovers’ assignation. In Mughal India tender sentiments were a bridge to the erotic – and if this seems contradictory, so too is the balance of realism and caricature, and naturalism with the schematic. Both are hallmarks of miniatures painted in this place and time. The earliest Mughal Indian miniatures date to the 16th century. They were inspired by those painted at the refined Moslem courts of the neighboring Persian empire. They incorporated figures in spite of the Moslem faith’s proscription against depicting the human form. Such was the nature of sophisticated courtly life everywhere that beauty and pleasure trumped systems of morality. This was no less the case at the provincial Indian courts, where our miniature, marked by a charming pictorial naiveté, was most likely painted. Yet the artist was undeniably accomplished. His command of perspective, introduced by Jesuit missionaries in the 17th century, is seen in the landscape, which rolls back to a distant horizon, contrary to the flat two-dimensional ones following Indian-painting traditions. And if Mughal artists were influenced by Western art, the compliment was returned by Rembrandt and Sir Joshua Reynolds, among others, who collected Indian miniatures (as did, perhaps, Giovanni Bellini who painted in Mughal style the famous miniature of a Persian man...

Peter Williams (b. 1932 – d. 2012) Millbrook, New York Oil on canvas 24 x 18 inches A vibrant and atmospheric depiction of Millbrook, New York, this work captures the charm of a small-town American streetscape in autumn. Painted with confident, impressionistic brushwork, the composition is animated by dappled light, crisp architectural details, and the warm hues of fall foliage. Figures strolling along the street and the interplay of shadow and sunlight lend the scene a lively yet intimate quality, characteristic of Williams’ plein-air practice. New Zealand-born artist Peter Williams (1932–2012) was widely known for his dynamic on-site painting, often working en plein air at racetracks and picturesque locations across the United States and abroad. While best celebrated for his equestrian subjects and sporting scenes, Williams brought the same immediacy and vitality to landscapes and town views such as this. Over the course of his career, Williams held more than forty solo exhibitions, and his work attracted an international clientele. His paintings are included in prestigious collections, notably that of Queen Elizabeth II, as well as prominent American patrons such as Ogden Mills. His work is also held in the permanent collections of major racing institutions including Churchill Downs...
