Manohar Das

Manohar Das, also simply Manohar or Manuhar, (active 1582–1624) was an


Indian Hindu painter in the Mughal style.

Manohar's father Basawan was a master painter in the Mughal emperor's court,
where Manohar grew up. His father most likely instructed him, and later Manohar
became a court painter as well. His earliest works were painted for Akbar, and then
later he was in the service of Akbar's son and successor Jahangir. Manohar's works
frequently depicted the royal families and life at court. Some of his works can be
found at the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
