Hardcover/Hardback. Condition: Poor. First Edition.

Unique handmade miniature painting on a repurposed manuscript folio (illustrator). An elegant late Mughal miniature showing a royal or noble couple seated within a terrace pavilion at night. The man, wearing a white robe and gold turban, embraces a woman in a rose-pink sari as they sit on patterned textiles surrounded by architectural screens, flowering trees, and a fountain. The horizon reveals rolling hills and a crescent moon. The work captures the Lucknow atelier?s refined romantic idiom, merging courtly love imagery with Mughal architectural detail. Executed on a reused Persian manuscript leaf, the verso preserves seven full lines of poetic text written in fine Nastaliq hand. The verses express moral and spiritual reflection, closing with a date and signature: 'Written in Rajab 1299 by the humble servant ?Ali ibn Yusuf.' This combination of moral verse and romantic painting epitomizes the late Indo-Persian synthesis of the nineteenth century, when artists repurposed literary manuscripts into visual artworks for private patrons and colonial collectors. The miniature?s luminous tonality, detailed gold border, and subtle modeling of faces are characteristic of Lucknow workshops c. 1860?1890. The signed and dated Persian text enhances its scholarly and market value. TRANSLATION (SELECTED LINES FROM REVERSE) 1. 'He who binds his heart to this fleeting world shall find only grief.' 2. 'The wise man?s treasure is patience; his kingdom, contentment.' 3. 'In the mirror of time, every beauty fades but the spirit endures.' 4. 'Seek not gold nor kingship, for both vanish like shadow at sunset.' 5. 'Remember the Beloved in the garden of solitude.' 6. 'Written by the humble servant, ?Ali ibn Yusuf, in Rajab 1299.' ART HISTORICAL CONTEXT This folio represents the refined aesthetic of Lucknow?s late Mughal revival period (c. 1850? 1890), blending Islamic calligraphy with Hindu-inspired romantic subject matter. Lucknow?s artists often painted directly over discarded Persian poetic manuscripts, preserving the reverence for sacred writing while adapting to changing markets and patronage. The fusion of Persian literary philosophy with courtly painting exemplifies nineteenth- century Indo-Persian syncretism. The dated inscription (1299 AH / 1882 CE) and signature ?Ali ibn Yusuf? situate this leaf firmly within the artistic and literary circles of post-1857 Lucknow. PROVENANCE Private Collection, acquired India c. 2000 Part of a documented group of Indo-Persian miniature leaves from Lucknow ateliers (19th century). VALUE ASSESSMENT The dated and signed Persian verso, combined with the fine preservation of the painting, significantly enhances value. Comparable Lucknow manuscript miniatures with legible text and identified scribes have realized $1,500?$3,200 at Bonhams and Swann Galleries (2020? 2024).
