Faqira
Faqira is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Faqira was a Mughal painter who later worked in Awadh, blending delicate portrait styles from the 1600s with softer touches seen in early 1800s court art. Look at their *Dost Muhammed*, a mid‑19th‑century portrait of a robed man with fine, contemplative detail. It sits right between traditional Mughal precision and the looser Awadh style. Tap *Dost Muhammed* to step inside the painting’s quiet mood and see how the folds of cloth catch the light.
