Miniature View of the Holy Sanctuary at Mecca

Location: India or the Hijaz

Materials: opaque watercolour on ivory

Dimensions: 8.3 x 13cm

Accession Number: MSS 1078

Other Notes:

The style of the painting – even down to minute details – is very close to the panoramic view of Mecca in the Khalili Collection. It is therefore most likely that this miniature view was painted by the same artist Muhammad Abdallah, ‘the Delhi cartographer’.
