Detail: Indian artists produced magnificent paintings on paper for the Mughal emperors and the Hindu princes of Rajasthan and the mountainous region of the western Himalayas. These pictures illustrate not only religious and poetic subjects, but also depict aristocratic social gatherings, hunts, music recitals and courtly splendour. A new selection of 65 paintings from the museum collection will be on display from 27 October 2007 and outlines important art historical developments in Indian painting from 1150 to 1850.
