Description |
English:
In this folio from Walters manuscript W.649, Emperor Akbar eventually permits the young Hindu girl to practice sati (self-immolation). Akbar's son, Prince Daniyal, accompanies the woman to the funeral pyre. The painting was part of a series created to illustrate a poem written by Naw'i Khabushani (d. 1019 AH/AD 1610) about a girl betrothed, but whose to-be-husband dies before the marriage. The painting was produced in Iran, by Muhammad 'Ali Mashhadi in 1068 AH/AD 1657. According to the colophon, Ibn Sayyid Murad al-Husayni copied the manuscript for the painter Muhammad 'Ali, the "Mani of the time," as a "souvenir." The fact that the manuscript was produced for one of the most prolific artists of 17th-century Iran makes it a highly significant document.
