拍品专文

Gold-leaf printing on a red ground is often associated with Indian textile arts, particularly tent panels such as that in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (1981.321) and the Victoria and Albert Museum (IM.30-1936). Its appearance on paper is less well known, but practiced predominantly in the Deccan. For an example of folios made using this technique, see the following lot in the present sale.

The framing of the central panel with nasta'liq, blue illuminated rectangles to the corners, and an identical sequence of coloured outer rules also appear on a gold-foil printed page which was in the collection of Stuart Cary Welch, sold Sotheby's London, 6 April 2013, lot 102.
