Portrait of Shaykh Murtaza Mufti, from the Mirza Birjis Qadr Album.
Described as an album, this group of 29 drawings offers a series of portraits with closely-drawn faces and often more loosely sketched bodies. They have been linked with the brief and contested rule of Mirza Birjis Qadr as nawab of Lucknow (Mirza Muhammad Ramzan `Ali Bahadur, 1845-1893, r. 1857-8), because the portrait of his mother Hazrat Mahal notes that she is the "regent of Mirza Qadr". The original patron of the series is not known.
Drawing, graphite on paper, portrait of an older man sitting cross-legged with an open book, inscribed in Persian (verso) "Shaykh Murtaza Mufti", folio from the Mirza Birjis Qadr Album, unsigned, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, undated, c. 1850-1858.
