This dynamic work depicts a courtly hunting party in a dramatic, rocky landscape. In the foreground, figures on horseback move with purpose, a falconer at the ready with his bird. The artist, Abd al-Samad, uses a sophisticated composition, drawing the viewer's eye through the scene from the finely detailed riders to the distant, stylized trees and hills.
The palette combines rich earth tones with jewel-like accents in the garments and saddles, set against the softer greens and blues of the landscape. The painting brings a mood of regal action and historical depth to a space, making it a captivating centerpiece for a living room, study, or library.
As wall art, 'Hunting with Falcons' complements classic, traditional, and eclectic interiors. Its narrative quality makes it a compelling statement piece above a console or as an anchor for a gallery wall, adding a layer of worldly sophistication to the room.
Created in Mughal India around 1560, this masterpiece of Persian-influenced miniature painting has been digitally restored and certified by the Surrealium atelier at Kastellet, a 17th-century sea fortress in the Stockholm archipelago. Each piece is made to order in the EU on matte, museum-grade paper using archival pigment inks, ensuring vivid, lasting color.
