Mughal School, 18th century Emperor Jahangir with Empress Nur Jahan on a Tiger
Located in Middletown, NY
circa 1750. Gouache and ink with heightening in gold on brown laid paper, 12 1/2 x 8 1/4 inches (317 x 210 mm), with a floral-motif border painted in blue and gold, the full sheet. With extensive inscriptions in Persian written in black ink on the verso. In good condition with extraordinary color. We see Empress Nur Jahan making an offering to a sage in his hut, as Emperor Jahangir looks on from a tree stand.
Nur Jahan was fond of hunting and often went on hunting tours with her husband and was known for her boldness in hunting ferocious tigers. She is reported to have slain four tigers with six bullets during one hunt. According to Sir Syed Ahmad Khan this feat, inspired a poet to declaim a spontaneous couplet in her honor: "Though Nur Jahan be in form a woman, In the ranks of men she...

Paul Gavarni (1804-1866)
Portrait of Henri Monnier, standing in profile a study of hand and arm on the right border, circa 1840-50
Pencil on light paper,
24.5 x 15,7 cm
Ex-collection Pierre Gavarni, the artist's son mark (Lugt 1124c, lower right recto).
Two corners missing (lower left and upper right) see photographs please
In a modern cardboard mount : 45 x 35.5 cm
Different portraits of Henri Monnier by Gavarni are known, mainly lithographs. This one appears as a very natural study, draught from the model in his interior.
It's interesting to judge of the difference between this intimate drawing and the litograph portrait (see illustration) if the model is the same and easy to identify, the attitude and the spirit are totally different.
Henri Monnier (1799-1877) was a cartoonist , illustrator , playwright and actor. He was a friend of Alexandre Dumas , Théophile Gautier , Stendhal , Eugène Sue , Prosper Mérimée , Eugène Scribe , Eugène Delacroix , Louis Boulanger...
