Purannath

Purannath is a Mughal Painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Purannath painted court scenes in 18th-century India. Their work Mir Ja'far and Miran (ca. 1760) shows two seated figures against a plain background, a quiet but telling snapshot from the Nawab era. The spare style belongs to the Company School, where Indian artists adapted Mughal techniques for British patrons. Tap Mir Ja'far and Miran to see the original close up.
