EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Emperor Shah Jahan (reigned 1628-1658), the fifth Mughal Emperor of the Indian subcontinent, in full regalia from the late 17th century. The image, created using opaque watercolor and gold and ink on paper, showcases Shah Jahan in a profile view, gesturing with his right hand. The Emperor is dressed in an intricately designed coat, adorned with precious stones and intricate embroidery, typical of the Mughal court. The coat is worn over a red patka, a long, loose shirt, and a sash. The orange background adds a vibrant contrast to the imperial attire. Shah Jahan, also known as Prince Khurram and Jahan Shah, was the son of Emperor Jahangir and Mumtaz Mahal. He ascended to the throne after his father's death in 1628 and ruled until his own demise in 1658. During his reign, Shah Jahan is most famously known for commissioning the Taj Mahal, a mausoleum for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, which is considered an architectural masterpiece and a symbol of eternal love. This portrait, likely created in the 1690s, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Mughal Empire, which flourished in the Indian subcontinent from the late 16th to the mid-19th centuries. The intricate details and vibrant colors in the artwork reflect the grandeur and opulence of the Mughal court, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of Asian, Indian, or historical art.
