Exotic Mirror: In the Eye of the Other, and Other Stories is the title of the exhibition that Alexis Renard from Paris will mount at Tambaran Gallery, 5 East 82nd Street for AWNY.
It will include this 18th century Mughal miniature, depicting the French monarch Louis XIV. The 4 x 5in (10 x 12.5cm) painting in gold and pigments on paper is a good example of European influences on Indian miniatures and was probably based on a European print.
