'Lovers in a Landscape'.

c1760 AD Provincial #Mughal #Painting from #Lucknow #Awadh #India now at #DavidCollection

Artist Mir Kalan Khan, like many other Mughal artists, worked in a style that appears quite electic. The young, indecisive couple who appear #Persian is being entertained by a more down to earth #Indian female musician.
The trees look #European, in a strange yellow background.

Nevertheless, the artist has managed to create a lively painting using Birds & Animals.

The #Mughal ruler Bahadur Shah at his Court at #Agra or #Delhi #RedFort in this 1707 AD #Painting now at #DavidCollection #Denmark
This mesmerizing painting is by artist Bhavanidas who was an important artist at the Mughal court until 1719.
As the Mughal Empire began to decline, Bhavanidas lost the Royal patronage.
So, he migrated to the #Rajput kingdom of #Kishangarh #Rajasthan where he found work at the court of Raj Singh (ruled 1705-48 AD).

Artist #NidhaMal was a well known artist at the court of #Mughal Emperor #MuhammadShah #Rangila (1717-48) at #Delhi.
After the death of Rangila, he was not favoured by the new #Mughal Emperor #Aurengzeb. So, he left for #Lucknow where, in c1750 he painted this... an Unknown Prince exchanging gifts with a darker skinned Emissary.
Painting now in #DavidCollection, #Copenhagen, #Denmark.
