EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Jahangir with Asaf Khan and Shayista Khan" offers a glimpse into the opulent world of Mughal royalty during the 17th century. The image showcases Emperor Jahangir, accompanied by his trusted courtiers Asaf Khan and Shayista Khan, as depicted in the late Shah Jahan Album. The composition is richly detailed, featuring vibrant opaque watercolors, ink, and gold on paper mounted on paperboard. The exquisite craftsmanship brings to life the intricate patterns of their garments, the luxurious carpet beneath them, and even a halo surrounding Emperor Jahangir's head. The scene unfolds within an ornate setting adorned with flowers and clouds that lend an ethereal atmosphere. This detached manuscript folio captures not only the grandeur of Mughal art but also provides historical insights into courtly life during this period. Acquired by the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at Smithsonian Institution in the USA through various funding sources including Dr. Arthur M. Sackler himself, this artwork now resides within their esteemed collection. Through this photograph print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, viewers are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - one that reflects power dynamics between emperor and courtiers while showcasing India's rich cultural heritage.
