Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Madonna and Child – Basawan
The painting shows Virgin Mary with the child, and the fan and jewellery give it an Indian setting. It is Madonna and Child, painted by Basawan.
NCERT (2026-27): “Early Mughal Painting …Madonna, here, is an extraordinary theme, which brings the Byzantine art, the European classical and its Renaissance to the Mughal atelier, where it is translated and transformed into an entirely different visual experience. Virgin Mary is draped in a classical manner. The attachment displayed between the mother and the child was inspired by the humanist interpretation in the European Renaissance art. The physiology of the child, certain details like the fan and jewellery completely integrated the work to an Indian milieu.”
