Detail from The Death of Inayat Khan

... that the Indian emperor Jahangir was so amazed by the emaciated condition of a dying nobleman, that he ordered the court artists to create a painting (detail pictured) of him?

This isn't a review, but I wouldn't nominate a hook about a painting without nominating the painting to run with the hook. Bremps... 05:57, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

I've added a cropped image, which I think is more appropriate since it shows the dying man clearly. -AmateurHi$torian (talk) 10:36, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

New, long enough, well-written (except perhaps for the one-phrase paragraphs, which could be merged into the larger ones), hook interesting and verified, QPQs done. Image correctly licensed. No plagiarism or machine writing. Dahn (talk) 06:46, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
