Faqira
Mughal Empire
Faqira is a Mughal Empire artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Faqira was a Mughal painter who later worked in Awadh, blending delicate portrait styles from the 1600s with softer touches seen in early 1800s court art. Look at their Dost Muhammed, a mid‑19th‑century portrait of a robed man with fine, contemplative detail. It sits right between traditional Mughal precision and the looser Awadh style.
Tap Dost Muhammed to step inside the painting’s quiet mood and see how the folds of cloth catch the light.
