1775082 Sir Thomas Roe\'s Embassy to the Court of Jehangir (oil & pencil on canvas) by Rothenstein, William (1872-1945); 52.5x110.5 cm; Bradford Art Galleries and Museums, West Yorkshire, UK; (add.info.: Sir Thomas Roe (c. 1581 ??6 November 1644) was an English diplomat of the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods. He sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1614 and 1644. From 1615 to 1618, he was ambassador to the court at Agra, India, of the Great Mogul, Jahangir. The principal object of the mission was to obtain protection for the East India Company\'s factory at Surat. At the Mughal court, Roe allegedly became a favorite of Jahangir and may have been his drinking partner. This greatly enhanced Roe\'s status with the Mughals. ); 穢 Bradford Museums & Galleries ; English, out of copyright.
