Title: Gosain Narayana taking poison in Jahangir's presence, c. 1750, Basohli style (New Delhi, National Museum)
Author(s): Photographer: Arthur Llewellyn Basham
Keywords: Miniature Painting: Pahari, Basohli style;paintings;miniatures;slide set
Description: Many of Muhammad Shah's painters went to the Punjab Hills, where they infused the local tradition with Mughal characteristics. The painting shows a Mughal individualization of the faces and a Mughal naturalism in details such as the carpet and the red bolster. However, the leaf-shaped eyes, the smouldering palette, and the atmosphere, charged with violence, reveal the strength of the Basohli tradition.
