Légende
Portrait of an Aging Man, c. 1700. This sensitive portrait survives as a fragment, part of a study for a larger painting. This man?s Mughal tunic, with a katar dagger tucked into the sash, indicates that he is a noble, probably Hindu, because the tunic is tied under the left arm. The gesture of his right hand?just a ghost of an indication?and slightly parted lips suggest that he is making a request. His upright posture reveals an inner strength and dignity despite the affliction to his eyes, which seem no longer able to see.
