Note du spécialiste

Percy Brown (1872-1955) was the author of Indian Painting under the Mughals, A.D. 1550 to A.D. 1750, Oxford, 1924. Brown's ground-breaking publication was the first systematic historical record of the Mughal school, completely unique in its genre. For more information on Brown see I. Stchoukine, La Peinture Indienne à l'Époque des Grands Moghols, Paris, 1929.
