Portrait of Emperor Jahangir, ca. 1615–20, Made in India, Ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper, Image 5 7/8 in x 8 7/8 in., Codices, Jahangir was an exacting patron who worked closely with the artists in his employ. The style of portraiture created during his reign changed dramatically with the influx of European prints into India. He had many of these prints copied, so closely that the visitors who had brought them could not distinguish the originals, and this zest for accuracy is reflected in the painting here
