    Indian Miniatures have enchanted art lovers for centuries. These works were executed on a very small scale on perishable material such as paper and when larger sizes were needed on cloth. Sometimes they were part of manuscripts written at the time, illustrating narratives. Other paintings were executed as part of sets illustrating poetry or royal lineages. These works are prized for their dazzling colors, their elegant line, and their inventive use of space. The minute exactness with which they were painted and the symbolic details never cease to stimulate our imagination.
