This type of artwork was especially popular from the 1970s through the 1990s, when skilled artisans in Rajasthan produced hand-painted miniature-inspired works for both the domestic and international art markets. While decorative in nature, many were painted by artists trained in traditional miniature painting techniques, making them highly collectible examples of Indian craftsmanship.
