Summary

[edit]
Description
English: F1939.50a & F1939.50b two sides of a single folio.

Detached folio from a dispersed manuscript; A portrait of Abd al-Rahim Khan Khanan; side panel texts in Persian black nasta'liq script; inscriptions on golden frame; reverse: Panel of calligraphy; verses of poem; Persian in black nasta'liq script; corners embellished with triangular illuminated panels; signed by Mir Ali.

Abd ar-Rahim, a poet and patron of the arts, was the Khankhanan or Commander in Chief of the Mughal armies during the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

Hashim, one of the finest seventeenth century Mughal artists, depicts him here as a powerful but sensitive man. Mughal artists like Hashim tended to concentrate on the subtle characterization of their sitter's facial features and gestures. In 1587-1588 Abd ar-Rahim commissioned an illustrated copy of the Persian translation of the Indian epic, Ramayana. The Freer Gallery of Art owns this work containing 130 paintings. (see F1907.271)
