Gouache, acrylic and gold leaf on board
59.4cm x 42 cm (A2)
A Bengal tiger prowls through a background of gold leaf, accompanied by kingfishers and a border of a Snaffles-inspired remarque depicting various animals of the jungle...How many can you identify?
The Persian calligraphy, in silver ink, reads:
“Love is a beautiful forest, where the brave tiger is slain by the pretty deer”
This work draws inspiration from the “tazheeb” guilding traditions of Indo-Persian miniatures, whilst evoking the nostalgia of Kipling’s “The Jungle Book”, to create a piece distinctively Shah Wali. The painting’s dimensions ensure an eye-catching impact in any room.
