About the piece
This vibrant miniature from the Bundi school of Rajasthan (c. 1740) captures the story of Sultan Ibrahim ibn Adham, a king of Balkh who renounced his throne for a life of asceticism. The work displays two moments of divine visitation: the Sultan contemplative within a pink-hued cave and then receiving celestial offerings beneath a sprawling tree. Characterized by the refined Bundi style, the painting features a rich, warm palette and a detailed landscape set against a setting sun.
