"The Court of Ravana", Folio from a Ramayana

"The Court of Ravana", Folio from a Ramayana. Dimensions: Painting:  H. 10 7/8 in. (27.6 cm)
 W. 7 7/16 in. (18.9 cm)
Page: H. 10 7/8 in. (27.6 cm)
 W. 7 7/16 in. (18.9 cm)
Mat:  H. 19 1/4 in. (48.9 cm)
W. 14 1/4 in. (36.2 cm). Date: ca. 1605.
The page comes from a copy of the Ramayana probably made for the Mughal courtier Bir Singh Deo of Datia. Inspired by fifteenth-century Indian and Persian painting, this folio is unique from the others in this manuscript. The array of demon courtiers attending the ten-headed demon-king Ravana come right out of Safavid paintings of divs, while the ornament of the pavilion resembles the Persian tile decoration found in paintings from Shiraz.
