Farrukh Husain, the royal artist at the court of Ibrahim 'Adil Shah II (988-1037 /1580-1627) of Bijapur was identical with Farruk h Beg of the Mughal Court.
" As in the Akbar Noma, various events are recorded under separate dates, and as the name Farruk Beg Musawwir appears under the year 993H/1585 (the 30th regnal year), it is fair and reasonable to conclude that the artist bore the title Beg before his arrival at the Mughal court.
In view of these facts, my conclusion is that Mr. Robert Skelton is not correct in holding Farrukh Beg identical with Mawlana Farrukh Husain, and when it is established beyond reasonable doubt that they were two separate artists, even if Farrukh Husain was a Shirazi painter (though on the basis of the available material such an assumption would be quite wrong), it is obviously and basically incorrect to connect Farrukh Beg with Shiraz.
-:; belong to Farrukh Beg, the brother of Siyaush Beg. Under these circumstances the artist who was at the Mughal court cannot be held to be identical witr one who was with· Ibrahim Mirza in Khurasan for the simple reason that obviously he along with his brother Siyaus died while in the service of Shah ; Abbas in Iran and never came to India, and accordingly, we cannot held Ain-Akbari' s Mawl ana Mah mud Siyaush, an expert in the six types o:' Persian calligraphy, identical with Siyaush Beg of the 'A lam Ara-i- ·Abbasi.
