[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9767949, member: 2844"]The style and the dress. Persian/Iranian souvenir painters love those random tufts of bushes or greenery to suggest a landscape. The costumes are Iranian or Turkish. Yours isn't antique, which Mughal paintings are. It is also likely to be painted on bleached camel bone, rather than Indian ivory. While these souvenir paintings are always charming (I have a few as well) they are not of the same quality as the old style Persian, Mughal period, and later Indian and Pakistani miniatures. Old style Persian miniatures are still being made, but they don't come cheap. Good quality Indian and Pakistani miniatures are also still being made.[/QUOTE]
