Tara 2

Indian, 1550–1590

Tara 2 was an Indian Mughal Painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art.

This artist painted delicate Mughal miniatures during the 1500s. Their work appears in the *Tuti-nama* (Tales of a Parrot), a manuscript full of tiny, jewel-toned scenes. One scene shows a handmaiden begging for justice as a prince is led to execution for the eighth time—rich in crimson robes and golden details. Tap “Eighth Night” to zoom into the story behind the brushstrokes.
