f. 30 from a Mughal Album of portraits
recto:Portrait of Khan-i Azam Koka, c.1610-1620.
Mirza Aziz Koka Khan-i Azam (c. 1542-1624) was a foster brother of Akbar. One of his daughters married Akbar's son Prince Murad and another married Prince Khusraw, the eldest son of Prince Salim (Jahangir). He lost his standing at court when he supported Khusraw's rebellion against Jahangir but was restored to his rank in 1608. He was renowned as an intellectual and in later life was appointed tutor to Prince Davar Bakhsh. In this portrait, apart from a pink and gold embroidered patka and orange shoes, he is plainly clothed in white muslin and leans against a thin staff.
verso:Verse by Jami
همسايه و همنشين و همره همه اوست / در دلق گدا و اطلس و شه همه اوست
در انجمن فرق و نهانخانهء جمع / بالله همه اوست ثم بالله همه اوست
