This painting shows a battle scene from the Akbarnama. A soldier lies on the ground in armor. Another rides a rearing horse above him. The colors are bright and flat. The work was part of a two-page spread made for Emperor Akbar. It tells the story of Mirza Ibrahim Husain’s defeat. He rebelled against Akbar, who ruled like other Timurids. Look up the full spread at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
