Saint Jerome as the Representation of Melancholy - Farrukh Beg (1615)

Farrukh Beg (Persian: فرخ بیگ; c. 1547 – after 1615), also known as Farrukh Husayn, was a Persian miniature painter, who spent a bulk of his career in Safavid Iran and Mughal India, praised by Mughal Emperor Jahangir as "unrivaled in the age."
