This painting shows Emperor Babur sitting cross-legged on a red carpet. He wears a big turban and a long robe in soft colors. The work is from about 1630, made under his great-great-grandson Shah Jahan. The page has Persian writing that calls it "likeness of Babur Shah." Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this piece in person.
