About the piece
Dating from approximately 1650, this exquisite painting captures a sultan in a moment of quiet contemplation, listening to a trio of musicians. The work showcases the characteristic precision of South Asian court painting, seen in the delicate patterns of the textiles, the soft modeling of the faces, and the atmospheric rendering of the background architecture.
