"Portrait of a Noble in Gauzy White Costume", Folio from the Davis Album

Not on view

This unidentified nobleman is dressed in the fashion of the Jahangir period when the double patka (sash) came into vogue. However, the treatment of the dark ground and figure suggest that it is from a later moment in the seventeenth century, based on an earlier model.
