Dara Shikoh is a 1650 paint by Chitarman, a company_painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three men sitting under a covered porch. One man is seated on a cushion by a window, another leans on a pillar, and the third stands near a doorway. The background has trees and a fence, while the edges are decorated with gold leaf patterns and small floral designs. The text around the scene is written in an elegant script, likely Persian. The colors are soft—light blues, greens, and golds—with careful attention to detail in the clothing and setting. Look up Chitarman to see more of this artist’s work.
