Khan Academy: Painting of Shah 'Abbas, Khan 'Alam and a Page

Curated by ACT

This painting shows the meeting of Shah 'Abbas I of Iran and Khan 'Alam, the ambassador of Mughal India, at the former Safavid capital, Qazvin in 1618. Their meeting was recorded by a Mughal court artist, and this image is most likely based on one of the preparatory painted sketches made of the key figures.
