The correct answer is option 1- 1 1- (A)-(I), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(III) "A Prince and a Hermit" Painting is a part of folio from Diwan of Amir Shahi created in 1595. It is in Aga Khan Museum, Canada. The artwork titled "Babur inspecting the fort of Gwalior" by Bhure, featured in the Baburnama and dating back to 1598, is currently displayed at the National Museum in New Delhi. The painting Falcon Perched on a Bird Rest by Ustad Mansur, Nadir ul Asr, a title received from Jahangir, is in the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, USA. Jahangir had fine falcons brought to his collection, and as a keen connoisseur, he had them painted. These images were included in his official biography Jahangirnama. There is an interesting episode described by him of a falcon brought as a present from Persian emperor Shah Abbas. This is to do with the falcon, which was mauled by a cat, resulting in its death, and the Emperor desired his painters to paint the dead falcon, preserving its memory for posterity. The painting Falcon Perched on a Bird Rest (1615), is one of the many paintings that were painted by the Mughal artist, Ustad Mansur. Princes of the House of Timur by Abd us Samad, created around 1545–50 is housed in the British Museum, London. When we look at an extraordinary Mughal painting from the early period, Princes of the House of Timur (1545–50), probably by Safavid artist, Abd us Samad, in opaque watercolour on cotton, we are surprised by its size and complex structure and display of historical portraits. A prized possession of the imperial family, it has portraits that were painted over the original to register the portraits of successive members of the Mughal dynasty. So, visible in their physical likeness are portraits of Akbar, Jahangir and Shah Jahan painted subsequently over those painted during the reign of Humayun. |
