Evidence
"an ink-and-watercolour painting from the Indian Deccan depicting a scholar in an intimate teaching moment with his royal pupil... c. 1600."
Remarks
This painting (Figure 5.1, 'Young Prince and Mentor Sitting in Landscape') is identified as using an ink-and-watercolour medium (p. 114). The work is attributed to the Indian Deccan around the year 1600 (p. 115). The analysis in the text focuses on the visual depiction of the mentor's balding head, noting the 'elegant portrayal' using these materials to convey intimacy (p. 114).
