Arte Indiana

Portrait of Jahangir Southern India, Southern Sultanate, possibly Bijaipur, 17th century Natural pigment and gold on paper

Fine portrait of imperial style, ascribable to the tradition of the Southern sultanates, depicting the emperor Jahangir sitting on the throne in conversation with two nobles. At his back is an attendant with a fly-whisk. The bright sky characterizes most of the background, with the exception of two green trees behind a white railing separating nature from the rich architecture, depicted as is often the case with the use of multiple perspective. The richness of the miniature is suggested by the abundance of details, by the excellent making and the copiousness of gold. The painting was attributed to the southern sultanates also in consideration of the fact that the facial features of the emperor differ slightly from the one typical of the courts of Agra and Delhi. A writing in Persian at the base of the throne identifies him as Jahangir. Beautiful illumination with swirling golden arabesques on a blue background on the margins. For reference, a similar item is the album page sold by Christie’s in October 2015 (sale 10386 lot 164).
