Explanation
Humayun brought the Persian masters Mir Sayyid Ali (and Abd al-Samad) to India, and painters like Maulana Dost Musawir and Maulana Yusuf are associated with his atelier and the early Mughal school. Bihzad (Kamal al-Din Behzad) was the celebrated master of the earlier Timurid Herat school who died around 1535–36, before Humayun's artistic patronage took shape; he was not associated with Humayun. The answer is Bihzad.
