Some, like the illustrations in Or. 4769, 4770, mentioned above, believed to be the work of a Pārsī artist, and probably dating from the early years of the century, emulate the meticulous delicacy so much affected by Shahjahān's artists. But most of the works of the class are executed in a broader style, apt to degenerate into coarse daubing. Indigo blue is largely used for the bodies of divinities, and the scheme of colour generally is not quite the same as in Indo-Persian work.
