About this person
Apparently a student of Bizhad, he may be best defined as an artist trained in the Timurid tradition, who further developed his style under the Safavids. Later in life he worked in Afghanistan and India, where he was called the "Mani of the Age" by Humayun. He is likely different from Dust Muhammad Haravi, who authored a preface to the Bahram Mirza Album in 1544.
