By a Delhi artist, c.1820-25.
Inscribed in Persian characters: ‘Naqshah i maqbarah i A‘zam Khan Kokah i Humayun i padshah’ (Picture of the tomb of A‘zam Khan Kokah [i.e.foster brother] of Emperor Humayun); in English: ‘The Tomb of the Royal Family.’
Water-colour; 10 by 13.75 ins. Indian ink border.
Purchased 20 February 1967.
Note: This drawing is in the same style as Add.Or.547-557 etc. and was probably part of a similar set.
The Chaunsath Khambe, a grey marble pavilion, was the family burial place of Aziz Khan Kokah, called Khan i A‘zam, who died at Ahmedabad in 1624. He was the foster-brother of Akbar, not, as stated in the inscription, of Humayun. The domed tomb in the background is that of his father Atga Yhan (died 1562), foster-father of Akbar. These buildings are all set in the shrine complex of Nizam al-Din Aulia, which lies to the south of Delhi.
