* Portrait du Nawab Kamkar Khan

India, late 18th - early 19th century Album page featuring a gouache portrait of a dignitary on the front and a European engraving on the back. Miniature size: 14.5 x 9 cm (page size: 33.5 x 25 cm) This intriguing album page bears witness to the circulation of European engravings in Mughal court libraries. They conveyed new themes and subjects that greatly inspired Persian and Indian artists. The engraving, entitled The Old Libertine, was created by Johann Theodor de BRY (1561-1623) after a drawing by Agostino Carracci (1557-1602) in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, inv. 27.78.1(402). Provenance: This lot is sold as a temporary import. An Indian album page, with the portrait of the Nawab Kamkar Khan on the recto, and a European engraving of an Italian drawing on the reverse ( now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York), 18th century.
