About Islamic Miniature Khusraw Beholding Shirin Bathing Deccan, Hyderabad c1700
The miniature’s motif comes from Nizami’s famous romance about Khusraw and Shirin that was written in Iran at the end of the 12th century. This painting, which was never part of a manuscript, was made in Hyderabad, a state that was created in the Deccan in around 1725 after the Mughal Empire had begun to disintegrate. The two protagonists and the slightly smaller minor characters – the men in Persian garb, the women in more Indian attire – were placed in a charming puppet-theatre landscape that ranges from apple green to violet, with buildings that are completely out of proportion with their surroundings. The style truly lives up to the slightly eccentric reputation of art from the Deccan.
