Portrait of a Prince with a Hawk is a 1704 unspecified by Unknown, a Baroque work, depicting Mughal, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a man in a white turban and robe, holding a hawk on his gloved hand. He stands on a balcony with a green background, wearing a belt and holding a stick. The edges of the picture have a gold frame with leaf patterns, and the page around it is decorated with small, repeating designs. The hawk looks calm, perched neatly on his arm, which suggests the man is used to handling birds. The painting’s style is detailed and a bit dramatic, fitting the time it was made. If you like this, look up Baroque to see how it shaped art in the 1700s.
