Artist

Baksa

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

This artist painted portraits so crisp they could talk back. Baksa favored sharp angles and a palette that sang under Mughal light, catching emperors mid-conversation like a fly on the wall. You’ll find his brushwork in the Lahore Museum, where Emperor Muhammad Shah sits cross-legged in a garden, turban slightly askew, as if he just turned to ask you a question.
