Miskin (c. 1560 - c. 1604), also known as Miskina, was a Mughal painter in the court of Akbar I. The name 'Miskin' itself is a pen name.[1] Miskin is recorded by the historian and grand vizier of Akbar, Abu'l-Fazl, in a record containing a list of prominent Mughal painters. Further, he is regarded as an extremely skilled painter of animals.[2]
