This painting shows Akbar on horseback with his court. It illustrates a moment from Akbar’s life when a rival was brought in as a prisoner. The scene comes from the Akbarnama, the official history book Akbar ordered. Miskin designed the picture but Mohesh painted the fine details. Akbar’s court artists worked together on royal books like this. These books were huge projects, not quick sketches. Check out Miskin next.
