What would you call this ?

Can i call this a canvas ... a hand paint in a thin cloth ?
And where would this be from ... Indo Persia ?

What kind of cloth is is, is it cotton or silk? If on cotton then it would be referred to as a painting on canvas, if silk then it would be referred to as a painting on silk. As to where it might be from, I could only guess that it might be Persian BWDIK.

Best,
Robert

It will have to be cotton; surely not silk ... but loosely woven; much thinner than the classic canvas we see in western paints.
So Persian it will be, thanks

Well.......I was thinking Mughal India scene, late.

The scene looks Indian to me and not Persian.

So if you don't mind Robert, India will now be

Not a problem Fernando. As I said before, it was only a guess.

Fernando, here is a section from a Persian char-aina cuirass, you can see the difference in dress etc between the Indian scene from your image and the Persian ones.

Thank you for the example, estcrh.
I had meanwhile browsed on Indian tiger hunting scenes and my doubts were vanished.
