介绍（中）	与莫卧儿美学高度和精致相关的花卉风格在这对雕刻木门中得到了体现。对完整开花植物的描绘，以低浮雕雕刻，对称排列，是这种风格的标志，其起源于莫卧儿皇帝贾汉吉尔（1605-27）统治时期。根据赞助人的兴趣，这一时期的艺术家们学习了欧洲草药，借用了正面和侧面相结合的技术，并将植物的花瓣和叶子注入了运动感。在贾汉吉尔的儿子沙贾汗统治期间（1627-58），尤其是从16世纪30年代开始，植物研究被转变为装饰性图案，排列成行，覆盖纺织品、物体和建筑空间。当它们被纳入风格化、对称平衡的构图中时，比如泰姬陵雕刻的护墙板和镶嵌面板上的那些，这些植物失去了它们的植物学特性在莫卧儿建筑中，木材的使用受到限制，几乎没有留下什么。因此，这些门是一种传统的罕见幸存者，只有少数其他例子，包括哥本哈根大卫收藏馆的一对类似的门。
介绍（英）	The flower style associated with the height of Mughal aesthetics and refinement finds expression in this pair of carved wood doors. The depiction of complete flowering plants, carved in low relief and placed in a symmetrical arrangement, is the hallmark of this style, which had its genesis in the reign of the Mughal emperor Jahangir (1605–27). In accordance with their patrons' interests, artists of this period studied European herbals, borrowing the techniques of combining front and side views and infusing the petals and leaves of the plants with a sense of movement. During the reign of Jahangir's son Shah Jahan (1627–58), and especially from the 1630s on, the plant studies were transformed into decorative motifs, arranged in rows to cover textiles, objects, and architectural spaces. As they were incorporated into stylized, symmetrically balanced compositions like those on the carved dadoes and inlaid panels at the Taj Mahal, the plants lost their botanical specificity. The use of wood was limited in Mughal architecture, and little of it remains. These doors are thus rare survivals of a tradition known through only a few other examples, including a pair of similar doors in the David Collection, Copenhagen.
