Muhammad Husayn al-Katib Kashmiri (d. AH 1020/1611-12 AD), was the most celebrated calligrapher at the court of the emperor Akbar, who gave him the title of Zarrin Qalam (Golden Pen). He continued to work at the court of Jahangir and his recorded work is dated between AH 988/1580-81 AD and AH 1017/1608-09 AD (Mehdi Bayani, Ahval va asar-e khosh-nevisan, vol.III, Tehran, 1348 sh., pp 702-704). Many examples of his work are decorated with small pictures of birds as are found here.
