Description: "Stuart Cary Welch's collection of Persian, Turkish, and Indian art is renowned throughout the world for its quality and depth. In 1999 Welch made a generous gift of drawings from his collection to the Harvard University Art Museums. Spanning five centuries and extending from Istanbul to Calcutta, the drawings represent the great empires of the Ottomans in Turkey, the Safavids in Iran, and the Mughals in India. This illustrated book presents more than seventy superb drawings from the Stuart Cary Welch collection - some of which are counted among the greatest Persian, Turkish, or Indian drawings ever made - and explores the connections between the arts and artists of the three cultures."--BOOK JACKET.
