Prince Salim is a 1800 paint by Unknown, a Mughal Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a group of men sitting under a tree by a river. One man is shirtless, holding a staff, while others wear robes or sit casually. A servant holds a tray with food, and a dog rests nearby. The background is lush with greenery, and the border is packed with bright flowers and swirling patterns. The scene looks like a relaxed gathering, maybe a break during a journey. The colors are rich—deep greens, warm browns, and pops of red and blue in the flowers. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
An opaque watercolour and gold on paper painting from around 1800 portrays Prince Salim, who later became Emperor Jahangir, accompanied by musicians, based on a 17th-century original. The work is part of the bequest from Harriet Sarah, Baroness Wantage, who died in 1920, and is recorded under several accession numbers in the collection.
