DESCRIPTION

"Shah Jahan on Horseback", Folio from the Shah Jahan Album Painting by Payag (Indian, active ca. 1591�1658) Payag worked for the emperors Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan over the course of a remarkably long, seven-decade career, and his brother Balchand was also a talented painter with whom he collaborated on a handful of paintings. The attribution of this portrait to Payag, written in the border below the painting by Shah Jahan, was recently confirmed by the discovery of a microscopic signature on the golden tip of the emperor's bow.
