About the Item
18th Century French Provincial Watercolor. Depicting a Lady and Gentleman riding horses in the original gilt frame, circa 1790.
Pencil and watercolor on toned paper.
Sight Size: 8" H x 10" L
This delicate artwork portrays a refined gentleman and lady riding horseback side by side, dressed in elegant 18th-century attire. The gentleman wears a tricorn hat and buttoned coat, while the lady is adorned with a feathered hat and full skirt, suggesting a leisurely countryside ride. Their postures are composed and dignified, echoing the grace and decorum of aristocratic leisure.
The horses are rendered with dynamic movement and anatomical accuracy, suggesting the artist's familiarity with equestrian subjects. The subtle use of watercolor enhances the figurines with hints of color, especially in the riders' clothing and the horses' manes. The background remains softly implied, giving the scene a timeless, ethereal quality.

Mid-18th Century Indian Court Painting of Krishna and Radha, Gouache with Gold
Located in Middleburg, VA
A superbly detailed mid-18th-century Indian miniature court painting, executed in gouache heightened with gold on handmade paper. Originating from Rajasthan circa 1760, this exquisite artwork captures a serene palace scene featuring the Hindu deity Krishna with Radha and accompanying Gopis in a lush, architectural setting. The composition is rich in symbolism, narrative depth, and emotional subtlety, hallmarks of classical Rajput painting.
The figures are adorned with traditional garments, rendered in delicate pastel tones with intricate patterns and gilt accents. The architectural elements, marble pavilions, domes, carved screens, and floral gardens, are meticulously executed, offering a vivid impression of royal leisure and divine romance.
Set against a tree-lined courtyard with peacocks and floral motifs, the visual rhythm is both vibrant and harmonious. The painting is professionally mounted in a deep tan linen mat and presented in an elegant gold-gilt frame with black detailing, complementing the composition's refined warmth and historic gravitas.
A rare and captivating example of classical Indian court painting...
