Adoration of the Magi | Yale University Art Gallery

ca. 1600

While manuscript paintings were prized in Islamic culture, monochrome drawings such as this one were also appreciated and collected in their own right. Christian painting subjects were well known in India during the Mughal period, thanks in part to the favorable reception that Jesuit priests received in the Mughal court.
