Opaque pigments on paper. Set inside a frame, behind glass. Depicting a zebra standing in profile in a grassland with spare vegetations and rocks, the head of the attractively striped herbivore gently turned, framed by a foliate and geometric band.Provenance: From a private estate in the United Kingdom.Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear.Dimensions: Image size 26 x 33.5 cm, Size incl. frame 30.2 x 40.2 cmAn Abyssinian Zebra or Burchell's Zebra was among the gifts presented to Jahangir at the commencement of his sixteenth regnal year in March 1621. The zebra was brought by Mir Ja'far who served as governor of Surat and Cambay where he also carried on trade as a merchant. Seeing a zebra for the first time, Jahangir was skeptical about its authenticity and noted in the Tuzuk: ''At this time I saw a wild ass (gur-khar), exceedingly strange in appearance, exactly like a lion [tiger]. From the tip of the nose to the end of the tail, and from the point of the ear to the top of the hoof, black markings, large or small, suitable to their position were seen on it. Round the eyes there was an exceedingly fine black line. One might say that the painter of fate, with a strange brush, had left it on the page of the world. As it was strange, some people imagined that it had been colored. After minute enquiry into the truth, it became known that the Lord of the World was the Creator thereof. As it was a rarity, it was included among the royal gifts sent to my brother Shah Abbas.'' He instructed Mansur to prepare an image of this strange animal for his record (see literature comparison).Ustad Mansur (d. 1624) was a seventeenth-century Indian painter and naturalist who served as a Mughal court artist, excelling in the depiction of plants and animals. He was the earliest known artist to illustrate the dodo in color and the first to depict the Siberian crane and the African Zebra in India. Towards the end of Akbar's reign, he earned the title of ustad (master), and during the rule of Emperor Jahangir, his masterpieces gained him the honorific N?dir-al-'Asr (Unequalled of the Age). Though best known for his natural history illustrations, he also contributed to manuscript paintings that depicted human figures.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related Indian miniature painting of a zebra, painted by Ustad Mansur, Mughal period, dated 1621, in the Victoria & Albert Museum, accession number IM.23-1925. Compare two other images of the zebra drawn in the same period, but not necessarily by Ustad, in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, accession number 14.659, and another in a private collection in New York, illustrated by Asok Kumar Das, Wonders of Nature: Ustad Mansur at the Mughal Court, Mumbai, 2021, p. 87, fig. V.8. Compare another picture of a zebra mounted in an album of mainly birds, animals and flowers in the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum, Jaipur, which shows a different species that appears from contemporary accounts to have arrived at the Mughal court in 1671 as a present to Emperor Aurangzeb, illustrated ibid, p. 88, fig. V.10.
