Artist

Dharm Das

Dharm Das is a Mughal Empire Baroque artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art.

These delicate Mughal drawings show how artists like Dharm Das brought Akbar’s reign to life in the 1580s–1600s. They illustrate battles, royal births, and wildlife from famous books such as the *Akbarnama* and *Anvar-i Suhayli*. Look closer at *Akbar’s Army at the Ganges*—each soldier and elephant is drawn with care and movement. Curious about the craft behind these pages? Tap *The Elephants at the Waterhole* to see another scene from the same book.
