Mughal albums are known for the way they decorate the marginal spaces with detailed studies of flowers and fauna. Mughal flower studies included lilies, narcissus, iris, tulips, carnations, poppies, anemones, and campions, among other flowers. Although they were painted to be naturalistic, they used a distinct Mughal style and colour palette. In this workshop, you will study some of the flower drawings found in Mughal albums and create your own flower study in the style of 17th-century art albums from Mughal India.

Suitable for adults and children aged 9+ years. All materials are provided.
