Azam Shah is a 1780 paint by Unknown, a Mughal Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man on horseback leading a cow by a rope. He wears a blue robe, red shoes, and a tall hat. Behind him, another person walks, holding a stick and a bird. The horse is black and white, and the background is a flat blue sky with green hills. The bright colors and simple shapes make the scene look almost like a storybook. The cow’s black-and-white pattern stands out against the man’s blue and red clothes. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more paintings like this.
The painting is an opaque watercolor on paper depicting Azam Shah, the third son of Emperor Aurangzeb, engaged in hawking while mounted on horseback, accompanied by an attendant on foot. It is a later reinterpretation of a Golconda original from around 1680.
