Stillness in Plumage

In Ustad Mansur’s 1615 Mughal miniature, a Himalayan blue-throated barbet perches serenely on a slender branch. Rendered in opaque watercolor and gold, the bird’s vivid plumage, emerald green, sapphire blue, and crimson, glows against a delicate, neutral backdrop. Mansur, a master of naturalistic detail, captures the barbet with scientific precision and artistic grace. The composition’s stillness invites quiet contemplation, offering a moment of pause and presence. This work can be seen at [Victoria and Albert Museum, London,https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O114116/painting-mansur/].
