This painting shows a crowded royal celebration in a walled city. It’s from the Akbarnama, a book about Emperor Akbar’s life. The red writing says Bhura painted it, but Basawan did the faces. The artist used tiny brushes for fine details. The city’s gates and flags add to the festive mood. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum online to see more Akbarnama pages.
