Posthumous portrait of the Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah holding a falcon, 1764. Creator: Muhammad Rizavi Hindi (Indian, active mid-1700s) .

Posthumous portrait of the Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah (reigned 1719-1748) holding a falcon, 1764. Emperor Muhammad Shah, who reigned from 1719 to 1748, was known as "Rangila," which means "the Colorful." The innovative use of a black background sharply sets off the chartreuse green of his jama and the pearls of his adornments and bolster. On his left thumb he wears an archer?s ring, and a stabbing dagger is tucked into his bejeweled belt. Even his trained hunting falcon has a ruby necklace. In this formal posthumous portrait, the master artist conveys a heightened realism that emerges effortlessly from elegant contour lines and bold use of colour. The work was part of an album of paintings collected in India before 1811 by a Scottish politician who worked for the British East India Company.
