About the piece
This exquisite Mughal miniature, dating to approximately 1700, depicts the Emperor Alamgir (Aurangzeb) on horseback. The work demonstrates the refined technique of the imperial workshops, with meticulous attention paid to the emperor's green floral jama and the ornate saddlecloth. Accompanied by an attendant holding the royal 'chhatri' or parasol, the scene captures the dignified formality of the Mughal court against a serene, atmospheric landscape.
