This painting shows a man on horseback with a falcon in his left hand. He rides through a landscape with trees and clouds in the background. The right side of the image is missing. The picture was painted in India, but the style looks like European art. That’s because Mughal artists often mixed local traditions with outside influences. The work comes from a book about Akbar, a famous Mughal ruler. This page was part of a larger spread. See how it matches the right side at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
