Summary
[edit]DescriptionTasawir 7.jpg |
English: Detail of portrait showing two elephants fighting. In the background, a figure can be seen watching from a turret. This Tasawir, or Collection of Portraits, dates to the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century and was donated to Edinburgh University by the linguist and collector Robert Blair Munro Binning (1814-1891), of the Madras Civil service. The Collection comprises of a total of nineteen portraits and seven specimens of calligraphy. The images have been pasted onto gold-sprinkled paper and with the exception of two of the portraits, which have Persian stylistic features, are by Indian Artists. Their subjects include many well-known figures, such as a number of Moghul Emperors and Princes and the Empress Mumtaz Muhal (for whom the famous Taj Mahal was erected), as well as saints and several Hindu Deities.
