Ibrahim Adil Shah II (r. 1656-1680), the esteemed monarch of the Adil Shahi Dynasty in Bijapur, India during the late 17th century, is depicted in this stunning full-length portrait. The artwork, created during the 1670s, is an opaque watercolor painting with intricate gold and ink details on paper. The portrait showcases the grandeur and sophistication of the Islamic ruler, dressed in traditional attire that reflects the rich cultural heritage of Hindustan. Ibrahim Adil Shah II is seen wearing a dhoti, a long piece of cloth draped around his waist and legs, and a colorful, intricately designed upper garment. His head is adorned with a grand headdress, which is a combination of a turban and a golden headgear. His long, flowing beard, a symbol of his religious and royal status, is meticulously groomed and adds to his regal appearance. The portrait is a testament to the artistic prowess of the period, with the use of bold colors, intricate gold details, and the skillful application of ink. The artist has captured the essence of the monarch, conveying his power, wisdom, and poetic sensibilities, which were renowned during his reign.
