"Women Visiting a Hermit", Folio from the Davis Album
Not on view
Visitation scenes to holy men became a popular genre in 18th century Mughal painting, with both male and female visitors being depicted. Here we see a hermit receiving a group of women, one of whom holds a child. He is seated on a mat before his simple dwelling while on the far bank of the winding river another style of round village thatched hut may be seen.
