Princess and attendant in trompe l oeil window, c. 1765. Creator: Aqil Khan (Indian
Princess and attendant in trompe l oeil window, c. 1765. Although unidentifiable by inscription or individualized portrait features, the seated figure can be recognized as a powerful royal woman, the model for whom might be the mother or wife of Muhammad Shah, the last Mughal emperor able to fully support the arts at the imperial court. The halo of light comes from the sky, indicating divine light behind her, rather than being generated from her. A golden window shade has been rolled up to reveal the princess, with her attendant holding royal emblems of honor: the white cloth and the peacock-feather whisk. The carpet draped over the sill echoes that of the balcony rail where the emperor traditionally showed himself to the people. Rather than taking the view of an outsider, the viewer looks from inside the palace out to the women on the terrace and the wooded landscape beyond

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Princess and attendant in trompe l oeil window, c. 1765" transports us back to the opulent world of 18th-century India. Created by Aqil Khan, an Indian artist known for his exquisite provincial Mughal paintings, this artwork showcases a powerful royal woman seated within a mesmerizing trompe l'oeil window. Although her identity remains unknown due to the absence of inscriptions or individualized portrait features, it is believed that she may be the mother or wife of Muhammad Shah, the last Mughal emperor who wholeheartedly supported artistic endeavors at the imperial court. The princess exudes regality as divine light emanates from behind her, casting a halo-like glow around her figure. The golden window shade has been rolled up to reveal this enigmatic princess accompanied by her loyal attendant holding royal emblems of honor: a white cloth and a peacock-feather whisk. The carpet draped over the sill mirrors that found on traditional balconies where emperors would present themselves to their subjects. What sets this composition apart is its unique perspective - rather than observing from an outsider's viewpoint, we are invited into the palace itself. From here, we gaze out onto the terrace where these women stand against a backdrop of lush woodlands. Preserved within opaque watercolor and gold on paper, this painting now resides in The Cleveland Museum of Art thanks to Heritage Art/Heritage Images' dedication to preserving cultural heritage through their prints.
