King Solomon And The Queen Of Sheba, Oil On Decorative Panel

Large oil on panel depicting King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, inspired by a Persian miniature, early 20th century.

This fascinating work captures an iconic scene from the legendary encounter between King Solomon, famous for his wisdom, and the Queen of Sheba. The painting is richly detailed, with figures surrounded by fantastical creatures and animals, in a royal and mystical setting. The miniature's personal style is beautifully captured here, with vibrant colours, refined gilding, and oriental motifs that evoke luxury. The details are meticulous. The background is decorated with stylised clouds and celestial creatures, giving a sense of movement and depth. The vibrant colours and complex composition of this painting make it an extremely decorative painting.
