Plate 70b. Persia, Mid Sixteenth
Century, Library of the Kunstgewerbemuseum,
Berlin., Paris.
La Miniature En Orient by Ernst
Kuhnel 1925
Translator's Note:
This piece is very much in the
style of Shaykhzadeh
Mahmud. With picture quality such as it is I
seen no reason to dispute Kuhnel. It is
interesting to note that Kuhnel refers to the
artist as Shaykhzadeh Mahmud. I should note that
even though Kuhnel does not say the piece is
signed but I suspect it must be.
Shaykhzadeh Mahmud was a student
of Bihzad at the court of the Timurid Prince Soltan
Hosayn Mirza Bayqara where he was known as
Shaykhzadeh. In about 1529 he went to Bukhara
where he was known as Mahmud Muzahhib. See Bahari,
Ebadollah. Bihzad Master of Persian Painting
for an interesting discussion of Shaykhzadeh.
