This folio from the Shah Jahan Album, painted by Govardhan, is a stunning example of Mughal miniature painting. The work depicts a Dervish leading a bear, a scene that may symbolize the control of the human spirit over the animalistic. Govardhan, a prominent artist of the Mughal court, is known for his meticulous details and vibrant colors. The intricate floral border framing the scene adds to the overall beauty and complexity of this piece.
