Shaikh Salim Chishti is a 1800 paint by Unknown, a Patna School of Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows four men sitting on the ground. They are all wearing robes and turbans. One man is holding a stringed instrument, and another is holding a piece of paper. There is a tree behind them, and a cat sleeping in front of them. The men seem to be having a conversation. The man with the instrument is looking at the man with the paper. The other two men are looking at each other. The painting has a lot of detail, with intricate patterns on the men's robes and the tree's leaves. It's worth checking out the Romanticism movement to see more art like this.
The painting depicts Shaikh Salim Chishti seated with three companions under a tree in a hilly landscape, rendered in opaque watercolour and gold on paper.
