A Princess and Demons before a Nobleman — Restored Mughal Wall Art

The story on your wall

A fantasy epic, centuries before the genre existed.

On the garden terrace, a princess and her demons stand before the nobleman — a leaf from a poetical romance of the era of Shah Alam the First, painted in gum tempera, ink, and gold.

And below the garden: row upon row of demon figures asleep in the walled tiers. Most people never notice them at first — then they can't stop looking.

The kind of painting guests cross the room to ask about.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Is this an original painting or a print?

It's a museum-grade fine-art print of the original c. 1710 folio, digitally restored from museum archives so the color and detail read as richly as the original. The original lives in an archive — this is how it lives in your home.

How long does delivery take?

Each print is made to order and ships from the USA. Most orders arrive within 5–8 business days. Ordering for a gift? Reach out and we'll confirm timing.

How is it packaged?

Every print ships in secure packaging designed to protect it in transit. Damage is rare — and fully covered if it happens.

What is the print made of?

Museum-grade archival matte paper with fade-resistant pigment inks. Framed options come in a solid wood frame under shatterproof glazing, matted and ready to hang.

Which size should I choose?

See the size guide above. As a rule: 12×16 for smaller walls, hallways, or pairs; 18×24 for a bedroom or study statement; when in doubt, go one size up.

What's your return policy?
