The Mughal emperor Akbar II. Artist(s): Jivan Ram, Raja (fl. 1825-1840)
- Scope & Content:
-
Head and shoulders portrait of the Mughal Emperor Akbar II (1759-1837, ruled 1806-37). c.1834.
Inscribed on front in Persian characters: in English: ‘ India, by Juan Ram;’ in ink: ‘Acber Shah, late King of Delhi.’
Purchased 1971, together with WD3110-3119 and Add.Or.3168-3172 from the collection of the early traveller in the Punjab and Himalayas, Godfrey Thomas Vigne.
Note: Before setting off on his travels in the Himalayas, Vigne visited ‘the lions of Imperial Delhi’ in May 1834 (see ‘Travels’, 1, 27) and the present picture was probably acquired at that time. The inscription, like many on Vigne’s drawings, was probably added later when he was arranging his materials for publication.
