The Black Dread

The Black Dread by Lt. Suresh Sharma captures the fierce elegance of a royal falcon in true miniature style. Perched with regal poise on a gilded stand, the bird exudes quiet strength and watchful intelligence. Every feather is painted with meticulous precision, from the inky blacks to the golden undertones that shimmer under light.

The artist’s mastery over miniature detailing is evident in the bird’s plumage, the texture of its claws, and the ornate design of the pedestal it rests on. Painted in watercolour on fine paper, this work combines realism with symbolism, representing authority, freedom, and grace.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

• Exquisite portrayal of a royal falcon in traditional miniature technique
• Stunning attention to detail with realistic shading and texture
• Symbolic of power and vigilance in ancient royal culture
• A refined piece that elevates both traditional and modern interior
