DescriptionPortrait of Naqd Ali Beg, 1626, signed by Richard Greenbury, London.jpg |
English: Portrait of Naqd Ali Beg
1626 Signed by Richard Greenbury London, Oil on canvas, 213 × 129.5 cm, British Library, F 23 This portrait was commissioned by the East India Company, the monopoly that controlled English trade with the Indian Ocean region, when Naqd Ali Beg visited London as the envoy of Shah Abbas I (r. 1588– 1629). The subject wears a velvet robe of honour, similar to the example once owned by Queen Christina of Sweden (cat. 72), over a robe made of cloth of silver (compare cat. 74). Unfortunately, Naqd Ali Beg’s embassy ended in humiliating failure because of internal disputes among his English hosts, and he committed suicide during his return journey in 1627. |
