Légende
Single Leaf of a Portrait of Shahriyar, 11th century AH/AD 17th century. This Mughal drawing is of a young man, identified by the inscription as Shahriyar, who was the youngest son of the 4th Mughal Emperor Jahangir, and died aged 23. Shahriyar is shown in profile, which is common in Mughal painting, especially in depictions of court ceremonies. The portrait is a preparatory drawing for a manuscript painting. It may have been at a later stage that the window frame and hand were drawn to suggest a jharoka scene. The portrait is inscribed shabih-i Shariyar in red Nasta'liq script.
