Page from the Late Shah Jahan Album: Prince and Ascetics, c. 1630. Most paintings in the Late Shah Jahan Album were commissioned specifically for the album, but some older finished works were chosen to be incorporated; they were removed from their original housings and inserted into the new borders. This painting of a Mughal prince visiting a Sufi holy man in his cave dwelling is one example, chosen probably because it underscores the importance of the religious dimension of Mughal life. The conch on the ground before the ascetic is blown at the beginning of prayer, which in the Sufi tradition is often sung to the accompaniment of music. The pair of ducks in the foreground imply the harmonious union of the spiritual and temporal in the Mughal realm. Mendicant Islamic ascetics fill the borders on this page, except for the one noble retainer standing by the prince

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Late Shah Jahan Album, specifically featuring a painting titled "Prince and Ascetics" created by Govardhan in c. 1630. The Late Shah Jahan Album was a collection of commissioned paintings, with some older works chosen to be incorporated into its borders. In this particular painting, we witness a Mughal prince paying a visit to a Sufi holy man residing in his cave dwelling. This choice of inclusion highlights the significance of religion in Mughal life during that era. A conch on the ground before the ascetic signifies the commencement of prayer, often accompanied by melodious music within Sufi tradition. The foreground features two ducks symbolizing the harmonious union between spirituality and worldly affairs within the Mughal realm. Surrounding this central scene are mendicant Islamic ascetics filling up the borders, except for one noble retainer standing beside the prince. Attributed to Govardhan and crafted using ink on paper with gold accents, this exquisite artwork exemplifies opulent opaque watercolor techniques commonly seen in Mughal court paintings. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this print by Heritage Art/Heritage Images offers us an enchanting glimpse into India's rich cultural heritage under Emperor Shah Jahan's reign (1628-1658) during the illustrious Mughal dynasty (1526-1756).
