My father purchased this painting at a garage sale in the San Francisco area approximately 50 years ago. We cannot find an artist’s signature but we think that this could be common for Indian paintings. The painting is on canvas, possibly depicting an Indian bride and groom on an elephant, and itself is 11” x 14” and is inside an ornate, hand carved frame. We are hopeful that someone at your organization will be able to provide us with more details regarding the origin and value of this original artwork.
Dimensions
The canvas painting is 11 inches by 14 inches. Framed it is 19” X 22”

Dear Dena, Thank you for choosing Mearto for your online appraisal. Based on the images and available information, this item is: An Indian painting from early 20th century based on technique, of Art Rajasthani. Apart from the architecture of Rajasthan, the most notable forms of the visual art of Rajasthan are architectural sculpture on Hindu and Jain temples in the medieval era, in painting illustrations to religious texts, beginning in the late medieval period, and post-Mughal miniature painting in the Early Modern period, where various different court schools developed, together known as Rajput painting. In both cases, Rajasthani art had many similarities to that of the neighbouring region of Gujarat, the two forming most of the region of "Western India", where artistic styles often developed together. No information of artist or signature. Good condition. Retail prices may vary
