Faqirullah is known for his work on another ragamala series (E. Binney, Indian Miniature Painting from the Collection of Edwin Binney, 3rd: The Mughal and Deccani Schools with some related Sultanate material, Portland, 1973, no. 84). His full name was Muhammad Faqirullah Khan, the name he uses on a slightly earlier work on the Johnson album in the British Library (album, 17, no. 3). His style was at that time purely Mughal whereas the present picture relates to the style developped in Awadh. Faqirullah probably moved to that region after the 1750s.
