There are countless Mughal miniatures of women engaged in
different activities. However, these portrayals, and subsequently,
the gaze with which we are forced to look at them, have almost
entirely belonged to men. While women did commission paintings,
and perhaps take art lessons for entertainment, there were only a
handful of women who could practice art as a profession. Sahifa
Banu was one of the select female miniaturists who accomplished
fame during emperor Jehangir’s reign. There are a mere three or
four paintings that can be conclusively traced to her from that
period. Yet, these paintings are telling of her mind, skill and eye for
detail. The most interesting work attributed to Banu is ‘The Lady
Paints a Self-Portrait while Her Attendant Faces Her Holding a
Mirror’ from the Khamsa-e-Nizami.
