Sobre a pintura
Manohar riffs on the work of his father, Basavana, by showing a holy man bowing at the feet of a prince, instead of another holy man. Those who could recognize the relationship between this work and that of his father (CMA 2013.296) would impress gatherings of courtly connoisseurs, who prided themselves on being able to identify the hand of individual artists just by looking at the paintings. Recitation of poetry would accompany the viewing of paintings and drawings. Virtuoso artists reflected glory on their patrons. As an Islamic ruler, Akbar and his court participated in these activities—a new purpose for art that Indian artists had to learn.
