Summary
Junayd of Baghdad was a painter in the academy of Sultan Ahmad Jalayir; Norah Titley attributes probably all the paintings of the manuscript of Khvaju Kirmani's poems (Baghdad, 1396) to him, on the strength of an inscription on one painting (folio 45b) naming him and Sultan Ahmad. 1
What is known of him
Dust Muhammad records that Junayd was a pupil of the painter Shams al-Din, who worked under Uvays (d. 1374); otherwise, Titley says, nothing is known of him. 1
