"Four Portraits: (upper left) A Raja (Perhaps Raja Sarang Rao), by Balchand; (upper right) 'Inayat Khan, by Daulat; (lower left) 'Abd al-Khaliq, probably by Balchand; (lower right) Jamal Khan Qaravul, by Murad", Folio from the Shah Jahan Album 1525 - 1640

This folio, from the Shah Jahan Album, depicts four portraits attributed to different artists, but all created between 1525-1640. These portraits are notable for their delicate detail and use of gold leaf, a common motif in Mughal art. The composition of the page, with its four distinct sections, speaks to the increasing cultural influence of the Mughal Empire at the time. The folio is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, a significant landmark of Indian art in the West.
