Akbar and Jahangir Examine a Ghir Falcon while Prince Khusrau Stands Behind, c. 1602-4. Mughal India. Gum tempera and gold on paper; page: 35.8 x 23.4 cm (14 1/8 x 9 3/16 in.). Emperor Akbar sits against a purple bolster under a canopy looking aged and careworn, probably not long before his death. He examines a trained falcon of the type that the Mughals used in hunting. This falcon appears to be from Akbars son, Prince Salim, who stands before him in a gesture of gift-giving. A stately black antelope, a wild animal now a pet, harnessed and wearing a bell, crouches at the foot of the steps leading up to the canopied platform.
