"Encampment in the Hills: Jahangir with Falcon", Folio from a Manuscript of the Akbarnama. Folio from the Davis Album
Author Abu'l Fazl Indian
Not on view
The emperor Jahangir appears in an outdoor encampment, identifiable by his halo, royal falcon and fur collared hunting coat, although his facial features are stiff not portraitlike. The style and small dimensions of this painting resemble folios of the early 17th century "Chester Beatty Akbarnama" manuscript, of which several folios are incorporated into the Davis album. Yet patently, this is a later painting, perhaps made by an artist in India or Iran, to match the historical style of the Akbar manuscript.
