'Lovers in a Landscape'.

c1760 AD Provincial #Mughal #Painting from #Lucknow #Awadh #India now at #DavidCollection

Artist Mir Kalan Khan, like many other Mughal artists, worked in a style that appears quite electic. The young, indecisive couple who appear #Persian is being entertained by a more down to earth #Indian female musician.
The trees look #European, in a strange yellow background.

Nevertheless, the artist has managed to create a lively painting using Birds & Animals.
