"Study of a Nilgai (Blue Bull)", Folio from the Shah Jahan Album verso: ca. 1620; recto ca. 1540 Painting by Mansur The nilgai, though known as a blue bull, is a type of antelope found in central and northern India and eastern Pakistan. This study was painted by Mansur, probably after observing the animal in Jahangirs (r. 1605-27) zoological garden. While great detail is lavished on the depiction of the animal, down to the distinctive swirl of hair where his neck meets his body, the background makes no reference to the nilgais natural habitat. As in portraits of people, a neutral or harmonious setting prevailed in Mughal animal paintings.. "Study of a Nilgai (Blue Bull)", Folio from the Shah Jahan Album 451261
