Page of Calligraphy 1540 - 1590

"Page of Calligraphy" is a work of Islamic calligraphy by Khwaja Ekhtiar, a celebrated calligrapher from Mughal India, who lived from 1500 to 1582. This exquisite example of his art, dated between 1540 and 1590, is a testament to the beauty and artistry of Arabic script. The piece showcases flowing, elegant script, written in black ink against a light background, framed by multiple borders in delicate colors. It is a fine example of the Persian art of calligraphy and now resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
