One of the best pictures extant, in my judgement, is that by Muhammad Fakīrullah Khān (Johnson Coll., vol. xvii, fol. 3), representing a domed building of white marble with a youth seated in the window, and a woman standing outside. The flesh tints and the texture of the marble are rendered with rare perfection. A mango-tree in fruit fills up the background (Plate CXXVIII).
