This print showcases a stunning piece of art titled "Shamsa sunburst portrait Aurangzeb 1618-1707". The artwork is part of the Emperors Album, also known as the Kevorkian Album, and was created between 1640 and 1655. The original portrait, which dates back to approximately 1640-1650, underwent alterations after 1658. Believed to be the work of Bichitr, an Indian artist active around 1615-1650, this masterpiece is rendered using opaque watercolor and gold on paper. The page measures an impressive 40 x 27.7 cm (15 3/4 x 10 7/8 in. ), making it a visually striking composition. The focal point of the artwork is a shamsa or sunburst design that surrounds a portrait of Aurangzeb (1618-1707), one of India's most notable emperors. This intricate illumination beautifully captures his regal presence and serves as a testament to his reign. With its vibrant colors and meticulous detailing, this piece exemplifies the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during this period in Indian art history. It offers viewers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions that flourished under Aurangzeb's rule.
