Bishandas

Bishandas, also Bishan Das or Bishn Das, was a 17th-century Mughal painter at the court of the Mughal emperor Jahangir (1569–1627), specializing in portraits. Though little is known of Bishandas’ life, his name suggests he was a Hindu, like several others in the imperial workshop.

Bishandas had the reputation of being unequalled for his ability to create a realistic likeness of his models. He created realistic court and battle scenes. Jahangir especially sponsored realistic paintings and accurate portraiture. He praised Bishandas as "unrivalled in the art of portraiture".
