| Description |
The subdued palette of this tinted drawing belies the dire events of the scene. A group of Mughal nobles out hunting with falcons has chanced upon two lions in the wilderness, and one of the men has been attacked. The bearded figure with the falcon at the upper left and the huntsman about to retrieve a duck caught by one of the trained falcons at the lower left are reminiscent of the earlier work, Hunting with falcons in a landscape, painted by a Persian artist, on display in this gallery at right. By the time this painting was made Akbar exerted more direct influence on his artists' work, and it reveals his taste for dramatic action and climactic moments where life and death hang in the balance. |
