Mother and Child in a Balcony

A Golconda artist portrays a Begum (mother) and her child in a Golconda painting style. 

The central scene on the terrace floor shows the Begum, adorned in lavish jewelry and a green-blue cloak, standing close to her child. Her golden dupatta is fully decorated, and a veil rests on her right hand. The child, wearing a gold-plated cap and a white robe with gold borders, plays with colourful spinner toy. The background features a rhythmic veil, terrace grills, a fountain, and a garden, creating a sense of serenity. This artwork likely represents a mother’s love and care for her child.

The Qutb Shahi era is portrayed in the painting by the extensive use of gold and the simplicity along with dynamic flow of the figurative emotion, subtle color scheme represents painting’s beauty.
