Artist
Abdullah Khan
Abdullah Khan is a Patna School of Painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painter spent his days sketching the Qajar court in Tehran, where one rogue goat kept sneaking into the royal portrait sessions. He had a habit of hiding tiny portraits of the goat in the corners of his paintings, a quiet rebellion against the stiff formal poses of the day. If you want to spot his work, look for *Portrait of Fath 'Ali Shah*—then scan the gold brocade for the goat’s mischievous face near the bottom left.
