It is difficult to ascertain though, because it is in a mat.</p><p>It is best to have the mat removed, the inner edges look discoloured which suggests acidity. The acid will stain the paper of the painting, which would be a shame, and would influence the value.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second one is a recent painting painted on an older legal manuscript from the Jaipur government. Jaipur is in Rajasthan. </p><p>The style is of the Mughal miniatures.</p><p>The stamp is not an export stamp, it pre-dates the recent painting.</p><p>The story of recent paintings on old pages is the same as in your other thread:</p><p>The painters of NW India discovered that there fine paintings sell better if they have a suggestion of history, so they use pages from old books (not antique).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
