About the piece

Created around 1760 by the renowned artist Mir Kalan Khan, this painting is a superb example of the Lucknow school. The composition skillfully balances the human figures with a detailed natural world filled with birds, goats, and squirrels, all rendered with the luminous color and fine line work typical of the late Mughal period.
