Artist

Govind

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

Govind painted delicate portraits of Indian nobility in the early 1800s. One of their known works shows Nawab Amir Khan, a ruler from Tonk in Rajasthan, dressed in rich fabrics with careful attention to jewelry and weapons. The artist worked when British and Mughal artistic styles were mixing, so the paintings blend local tradition with new European influences.

See how the details in Amir Khan’s turban and dagger reflect that shift. Tap to view the portrait of Nawab Amir Khan up close.
