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.
