EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Emperor Shah Jahan, also known as Khurram, during his early years as a prince. Created in 1616 by the Mughal School, this exquisite gouache on parchment painting is now housed at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The portrait depicts a young and regal Shah Jahan with an air of confidence and authority. Dressed in opulent attire that reflects his royal status, he holds a jewel delicately in his hand. The dark background adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the subject's profile. Inscribed in Persian below the image are the words "A good portrait of me in my 25th year" providing insight into Shah Jahan's own appreciation for this artwork. The attention to detail and skillful execution by Abul Hasan, who created this copy of Nadir Az Zaman's original work, further enhances its artistic value. As one gazes upon this mesmerizing portrait, it becomes evident why Shah Jahan was regarded as one of India's most influential rulers. His reign from 1627 to 1658 marked a period of great prosperity and cultural splendor within the Mughal Empire. This print not only captures an important historical figure but also serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of India during the 17th century. It stands as a reminder of Shah Jahan's legacy and continues to inspire awe and admiration for centuries to come.
