- Summary:
- "This volume proudly introduces the Benkaim Collection, along with the other recent acquisitions of paintings from Mughal India made since the museum published Linda Leach's Indian Miniature Paintings and Drawings in 1986. Updates and new discussions of select works that came into the collection prior to that time are included, when relevant. Whether a new acquisition or a long-standing part of the holdings, every painting reproduced in this book belongs to the Cleveland Museum of Art."--Page 10.
