Painted by Abu l Fazl and dating back to around 1602-3, this artwork is part of the renowned Akbar-nama (Book of Akbar). The painting showcases intricate details and vibrant colors, depicting the grandeur of the Mughal court. The image portrays a scene filled with action and intensity. Akbar stands tall amidst his men, commanding their efforts to capture these majestic creatures. The use of ink with colors and gold on paper adds depth and richness to every stroke. The calligraphy by Faqir Ali further enhances the overall composition.
