16 Unbelievably Elaborate Indian Miniature Paintings

Indian miniature painting is one of the world's most impressive artistic disciplines. As the name suggests, it involves painting images onto implausibly tiny canvases, often no larger than a few centimetres in width and height.

If you've never seen a miniature painting before, you'll be stunned by the level of detail involved. Individual leaves on trees and hairs on human heads are clearly defined on paintings no larger than train tickets.
