About the piece
This intricate Mughal painting from approximately 1660 depicts Emperor Aurangzeb engaged in a hunt of nilgais, or blue bulls. The composition is rich with narrative detail, showing the royal party amidst a dense grove of trees and rolling hills, rendered with the fine brushwork and atmospheric perspective characteristic of the imperial workshop of the era.
