Toutes les enchères / Arts asiatiques / SOLOMON RECEIVES A MESSAGE FROM THE HOOPOE, MUGHAL INDIA, 18TH CENTURY
Opaque pigments heightened with gold on paper, set within polychrome and gilt borders, mounted on card. The painting illustrates an episode from the legendary romance of King Solomon (Prophet Sulayman) and the Queen of Sheba (Bilqis). According to Islamic and Persian literary tradition, the hoopoe bird (hudhud) acts as a divine messenger between them. Here, the hoopoe delivers its message to Solomon, confirming the Queen’s existence and kingdom. Solomon is shown seated centrally on an elaborate, jewel-like throne. His head is encircled by a radiant gold halo, signifying his prophetic status. The throne is borne aloft by demons (jinn)—a reference to Solomon’s God-given power to command supernatural beings. Surrounding him are numerous winged angels, attendants, and birds in dynamic flight, filling the upper register of the composition. 43,5 by 29 cm.
