Two men sit on a patterned carpet under a striped canopy. One wears a white turban, the other a tall black hat. A spotted deer stands behind them, quiet as a statue. This scene comes from a big book called Akbarnama. It tells the story of Akbar, the Mughal emperor, through words and paintings. Here, Akbar’s artist shows a meeting between a royal messenger and a rebel leader. Look up Farrokh (Beg) next.
