EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th-century painting, titled "Page from Tales of a Parrot (Tuti-nama): Forty-seventh night: The four destitute friends" transports us to the enchanting world of Mughal India. Created during the reign of Akbar, this exquisite piece showcases the mastery of Indian heritage art. In this scene, we witness four destitute friends seeking solace and guidance from a wise man. With compassion in his eyes, he bestows upon each friend a magical shell to be placed atop their turbans. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this tale as it unfolds before our eyes. The artist's skillful use of ink and gold on paper adds depth and richness to every stroke. Opaque watercolors enhance the ethereal quality of the scene, immersing us in its mystical atmosphere.
