Look closely in the lower-left corner—can you spot the two inscriptions? (Swipe for a better look!) This, like many of the paintings in the original album, was signed distinctively in Persian by the artist, Shaikh Zain al-Din, and refers in English to "Lady Impey in Calcutta. 🎨 Shaikh Zain al–Din (Indian, born Patna, Bihar). Orange-Headed Ground Thrush and a Death's-Head Moth on a Purple Ebony Orchid Branch, ca. 1778. Opaque watercolor and ink on paper. @metislamicart」2月7日 2時37分
