Attributed to the Mughal artist Mushfiq, who was active in the early 17th century, the work demonstrates the high level of technical precision found in Indian courtly book arts of the period. The page contains verses from two of Jami's masnavis: Yusuf va Zulaykha and Subhat al-abrar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe central text block features elegant Nasta'liq script, arranged in two columns separated by a vertical gold-leaf divider. The calligraphy is framed by marginal annotations written in a diagonal orientation, a common practice in Persian and Mughal manuscript production to maximise space while maintaining aesthetic balance. The margins are decorated with small, finely rendered birds, which provide a sense of movement against the structured geometry of the text blocks. The use of gold leaf throughout the illumination reflects the high status of the original commission, likely intended for a royal or aristocratic library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMushfiq's hand is visible in the disciplined flow of the ink and the careful application of pigments. The composition adheres to traditional Islamic manuscript conventions, where the relationship between the written word and the decorative border is carefully calibrated. The inclusion of the birds in the margins adds a layer of naturalistic detail that contrasts with the formalised script. This piece offers a glimpse into the synthesis of Persian literary tradition and Mughal artistic refinement, where the act of copying poetry was treated as a devotional and aesthetic exercise. The preservation of such pages allows for the study of historical scribal practices and the development of the Nasta'liq script within the Indian subcontinent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/calligraphy-with-floral-and-animal-border-mir-ali-haravi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCalligraphy with Floral and Animal Border - Mir 'Ali Haravi — Mir 'Ali Haravi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/the-magic-parrot-of-the-merchant-talks-to-the-vizier-s-son-lalu\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Magic Parrot of the Merchant Talks to the Vizier’s Son - Lalu — Lalu\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mushfiq","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58810066633039,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58810085081423,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58810085114191,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58810085146959,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58810085179727,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58810085212495,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58810085245263,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58810085278031,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58810085310799,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58810085343567,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58810085376335,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58810085409103,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Page-from-the-Panj-Ganj_Poster_CompositorV1_1789675713398.jpg?v=1789697475"},{"product_id":"zulaykha-in-her-palace-and-as-an-elderly-woman-with-joseph-mushfiq","title":"Zulaykha in her palace and as an elderly woman with Joseph - Mushfiq","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 17th-century Mughal miniature depicting the narrative of Zulaykha and Joseph, rendered in opaque watercolour and gold on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis miniature painting, attributed to the artist Mushfiq, originates from a manuscript of the Panj Ganj, or Five Treasures, by the Persian poet Abd al-Rahman Jami. The work reflects the conventions of Mughal manuscript illumination, where narrative scenes are integrated with calligraphic text. The composition is divided into distinct registers, a common device in Persian and Indian book arts to convey multiple temporal states within a single frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper section depicts architectural interiors, where figures engage in courtly activities. Below, the narrative shifts to the story of Zulaykha and Joseph. The artist employs a flattened perspective, prioritising the clarity of the figures and their garments over three-dimensional space. The use of gold leaf and saturated pigments is characteristic of the period, providing a sense of opulence to the scene. The figures are rendered with fine brushwork, particularly in the depiction of facial features and the patterns on their clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMushfiq, active in the early 17th century, demonstrates a high degree of control over the medium.

The scene captures the emotional weight of the encounter between the elderly Zulaykha and Joseph, who is depicted with a halo, signifying his spiritual status. This print offers a view into the technical precision and narrative complexity of the Mughal school, where literature and visual art functioned as a unified medium for storytelling.
