In 1613 he was sent on a diplomatic mission to Persia, to paint the portraits of Shah Abbas I of Persia and other leading Persian figures. Here he was so successful that he remained until 1620, and on his return Jahangir gave him an elephant.

SahibdinW
Sahibdin

Sahibdin was an Indian miniature painter of the Mewar school of Rajasthan painting. He was one of the dominant painters of the era, and one of the few whose name is still known today. Sahibdin was a Muslim, but that kept neither his Hindu patrons from employing him, nor him from composing Hindu-themed works of great value. Sahibdin's paintings deftly combine elements of the "popular Mughal" style then in vogue across northern India with the traditional Rajput style.
