Artist

Faqirullah

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

Faqirullah painted delicate scenes of love and history on paper, working in a style that blends Indian and Persian traditions from the late 1700s. One of his surviving works, Baz Bahadur and Rupmati, shows the 16th-century ruler and his queen in a lush garden, full of soft colors and fine details. Look for the way the trees frame the couple, a trick that makes the painting feel alive. Tap to see the painting up close and notice the tiny brushstrokes in the flowers.
