Portret van Sultanji, de oudste zoon van Aurangzeb, de schoonzoon van Sultan Abdullah; Aurangzeb heeft hem gevangen gezet en in die gevangenschap is hij ook gestorven. c. 1686

This Mughal miniature painting, created by an anonymous artist around 1686, depicts Sultanji, the eldest son of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. The portrait captures Sultanji in profile, adorned with rich attire, a jeweled turban, and a pearl necklace, highlighting his noble status. The intricate details and delicate brushstrokes characteristic of Mughal miniature painting are evident in the floral patterns of his clothes, the delicate rendering of his facial features, and the elegant design of the frame. The painting is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and offers a glimpse into the visual culture of the Mughal court.
