About the painting
This portrait of a leading figure in the Mughal empire during the reign of Jahangir (r. 1605-1627) is inscribed in Persian 'Likeness of Mirza Ghazi, son of Mirza Jani, the work of Manohar'. Mirza Ghazi and Mirza Jani belonged to the Tarkhan dynasty of Sindh. Mirza Jani submitted to the Mughal army under Akbar (r. 1556-1605) and became a loyal supporter of the emperor. His son was equally loyal to Jahangir and led the Mughal army in major campaigns in the early years of his reign. He was also a poet whose Persian verses the emperor greatly admired. Mirza Ghazi died in 1612.
Manohar had worked in the imperial ateliers for Akbar, and became one of Jahangir's greatest artists.
His portrait of Mirza Ghazi was copied exactly for a scene of Jahangir in a garden, surrounded by members of his court, also in the V&A (IM.9-1925).
