EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Ustad Mansur, a renowned Indian miniature painter from the 17th century. Titled "Diving Dipper and Other Birds" this folio is part of the Shah Jahan Album, created between 1610-15. The recto side features a stunning depiction of a Diving Dipper, also known as a Water Ousel or Cinclus Aquaticus, gracefully diving into a river. Mansur's attention to detail is evident in his delicate brushstrokes that beautifully capture the bird's vibrant colors and intricate feathers. Surrounding the dipper are other birds depicted with equal precision and skill, adding to the overall charm of this masterpiece. The use of gold color adds an element of luxury and grandeur to this decorative piece. The floral motifs and plants further enhance its aesthetic appeal, creating a harmonious composition that transports viewers into nature's realm. Housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this watercolor manuscript exemplifies Mansur's mastery in portraying animals within their natural habitats. It serves as a testament to India's rich artistic heritage and provides us with insight into both geographical features and indigenous wildlife during the seventeenth century. This print offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to appreciate Mansur's talent while immersing themselves in the beauty of nature through his remarkable portrayal of these avian creatures.
