About the Item

An 18th century, Mughal painting of a tribal chief, shown richly dressed and reclining in a courtyard surrounded by numerous concubines. Exceptional attention to detail throughout, particularly in the fine and detailed application of the gold leaf in the architecture and the draperies. This is the finest antique Mughal School work to have come our way in 50 years. (Please view condition report). The Mughal Empire was one of the great early-modern Islamic empires, ruling large parts of the Indian subcontinent from the early 16th century until the mid-19th century. Founded in 1526 by Babur, a Central Asian prince descended from both Timur and Genghis Khan, it expanded under his successors into one of the most powerful and culturally vibrant empires in world history. Framed dimensions: 20.25 H x .75 D x 15.25 W inches
