DESCRIPTION

"Dervish With a Lion", Folio from the Shah Jahan Album Painting by Padarath Calligrapher: Sultan 'Ali al-Mashhadi (active late 15th�early 16th century) Persian Inscription (in lower border, in Shah Jahan�s hand): "Work of Padarath". During the reigns of Jahangir and Shah Jahan, devotees were favorably received, and often indulged, at court. The dervish depicted here has accoutrements associated with a mystic of the time such as a satchel, fur skirt, and distinctive head gear. He also has the dedicatory scars from self-inflicted burns on his upper arm. The floral borders in the Shah Jahan Album, many created by Daulat, combine real and imagined plants with insects, birds, and cloud bands.
