EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing piece of art from the Prince Salim Album, dating back to around 1585. The focal point of this composition is a humble mendicant bowing before a revered holy man, beautifully captured by Basavana, an Indian artist active during the late 16th century. The artwork itself is created using opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper. The page measures approximately 32.7 x 21.1 cm (12 7/8 x 8 5/16 in. ), while the painting occupies an area of about 13.6 x 7.5 cm (5 3/8 x 2 15/16 in. ). What makes this particular print even more intriguing is its historical journey through time and artistic additions over centuries. An inner border was added in Allahabad around c. 1602, enhancing the visual appeal and cultural significance of the original artwork. Furthermore, an outer border was likely incorporated into the piece during the early twentieth century (1900s), adding another layer of intricate detailing to this already remarkable creation. The Prince Salim Album represents not only a masterpiece but also serves as a testament to India's rich artistic heritage and spiritual traditions that have captivated generations throughout history.
