The Emperor Bahadur Shah II Enthroned India, Delhi, Mughal, dated 1838 (A.H. 1254) Opaque watercolor and gold on paper

The Last Mughal Emperor, Bahadur Shah II, with Two Sons; The Heir Apparent, Fakhrud-din Mirza at His Right, and Mirza Farkhanda. Mughal, North India, Delhi, dated in the month of Rabi I, A.H. 1254 (May-June 1838): 32 x 38 cm. Private collection.

"On this final imperial Mughal portrait are inscribed some of his honorifics: "the Shadow of God," "Exalted King of Kings," "Refuge of Islam," and "Increasor of the Splendour of the Community of the Paraclete." The lions aupporting the throne are scrawny and feeble and the Emperor's halo has turned from the usual gold to hauntingly anemic pale blues." (p. 185)
