This painting shows two men on horses racing across a river. One man flees while the other gives chase. The artist used bright colors to show the water’s ripples and the men’s clothes. The chase happened in 1565, but the painting was made later. The artist Tulsi worked for the Mughal emperor Akbar. The text of the Akbarnama doesn’t explain why the men were running. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more Mughal art.
