Painting

This depiction of an aged mulla was done by Farrokh Beg, an Iranian artist at the Mughal court. He arrived in Hindustan in 1585 and entered imperial service under the emperor Akbar (r.1556-1605). Two of his paintings are in the illustrated partial copy of the history of the reign now in the V&A.
