Artist
Ghulam Ali Khan
Ghulam Ali Khan is a Patna School of Painting artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Ghulam Ali Khan painted delicate Mughal-style portraits and hunting scenes in the early 1800s. Two works here show his hand: a crisp 1820s portrait of Sayyid Mirza Azim Beg in lace and velvet, and a lively jungle hunt near Jhajjar where riders on horseback chase a tiger under a dramatic sky. Look closer at the tiger’s stripes in *A tiger hunt at Jhajjar*—they’re almost visible in real life. Tap the hunt scene next to see how the artist balanced color and chaos on paper.
