About this work

This painting shows a battle scene from 1563. The Mughal army fights Sultan Adam’s men in Punjab. Bright armor and flags fill the scene. Clouds of dust rise as horses charge forward. One detail stands out: the three artists who worked on it. Tulsi, Bhawani, and Sanwala each added their touch. The book this came from, the Akbarnama, tells Mughal history.
