EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Oriental art titled "Portrait of the Mughal Emperor Djahangir (1569-1627) holding in his hands the portrait of his father Akbar (1542-1605) around 1614". Painted by Abe l Hasan in the first half of the 17th century, this watercolor and gouache masterpiece measures approximately 0.12x0.08 meters and is housed in the Guimet Museum, National Museum of Asian Arts in Paris.

The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only their physical features but also conveying their deep bond as father and son. This artwork offers us a glimpse into the opulent world of the Mughal Empire during its golden age. It symbolizes both filial piety and succession within royal dynasties. Djahangir's expression reflects admiration for his father while hinting at the weighty responsibility that lies ahead as he assumes leadership. The rich colors used by Abe l Hasan bring vibrancy to this historical scene, transporting viewers back to early 17th-century India.
