Shaykh 'Abbasi

Shaykh 'Abbasi (fl. 1650–1684) was a Persian painter known for incorporating European and Indian influences into his illustrations, a practice later adopted by Mohammad Zaman and Aliquli Jabbadar. His style evolved to become more Indian as his career went on – he painted Mughal emperors and drew particularly Indian heads, using similar techniques.
