Portrait of Mian Mir and Mulla Shah 1670 - 1730

This 17th or 18th-century Mughal miniature painting by Muhammad Musa depicts a gathering of Sufi saints, including the prominent figures Mian Mir and Mulla Shah, with a servant holding a fly whisk. The scene is set in a garden, reflecting the importance of nature in Sufi thought. The figures are rendered in a delicate and precise style, characteristic of the Mughal period. The composition is balanced, and the use of color is subtle and harmonious. This artwork is a valuable document of the spiritual culture of the Mughal era.
