XIV. Portrait of Gosāīṅ Jadrūp

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

The accompanying reproduction of a picture of a seated Yogī was shown to me by the owner, a resident of Ajmere, but of whose name, unfortunately, I made no note, at Allahabad in 1911. It is of considerable interest, not only as a Mughal portrait of the very finest quality, but as an evidently authentic likeness of a famous Sādhu— the Gosāīṅ Jadrūp—referred to at some length in the Memoirs of Jahāngīr and elsewhere.
