Jahangir is a 1800 paint by Unknown, a Mughal Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a group of men dressed in bright, colorful clothes standing in an open courtyard. One man sits elevated on a raised platform, holding a scroll, while others stand or kneel around him. The background has a small pavilion and a garden with a fountain, and the edges are filled with delicate floral patterns. The men’s clothing and the detailed borders suggest this might be a scene from a royal or important gathering. The bright colors and intricate designs are typical of paintings from this time. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
A painting in opaque watercolour on paper depicts Jahangir examining a golden figure, based on a 17th-century original. The work was part of the collection bequeathed by Harriet Sarah, Baroness Wantage, following her death in 1920.
