Image description

Around 1615 Jahangir’s artists begin to create allegorical portraits with symbolic references. This painting asserts that Jahangir favours the spiritual over the worldly. He hands a book, the most respected of objects in both Islam and the Mughal court, to a Sufi shaykh (a religious scholar). Below (and therefore implicitly less important than) the shaykh stand an Ottoman sultan and King James I of England. Bichtir’s self-portrait in the lower left corner conveys the respect that Jahangir accorded to painters. Nur-ud-din Mohammad Salim, known by his imperial name Jahangir (1569–1627), was the fourth Mughal Emperor of India who ruled from 1605 until his death in 1627. (1569-1627) margins 1747-48
