This small painting shows a man in a red coat on a plain background. He stands with one hand resting on his sword. The work once decorated a royal book. It’s from the memoirs of Babur, the first Mughal emperor. His grandson had the stories turned into Persian so more people could read them. Look for it next time you visit the Victoria and Albert Museum.
