Descriptions Description Underneath a tree and on a green mat is an orange-robed figure with a white sash tied around his waist. He wears a turban and has a small mustache. His left leg is folded underneath him while is right leg is in front of him, exposing his pink trousers and an injury, just below the knee with blood softly spraying from it. He leans slightly back, his left arm resting on the lap of the figure behind him, who is also supporting him. This figure is wearing a mint green robe with a gold sash. He wears a turban and his face is clean shaven. In front of the orange figure is a bearded one, with a bright blue robe and a white and gold sash. He has a thin scarf draped around his shoulders, a white turban, and a beard. He kneels towards the injured figure, with his left arm on the knee and his right raised in conversation. Behind him is a young attendant with a pink robe, green sash, white scarf draped around his shoulders, red turban, and red trousers. He has his left pointer finger to his lips while his right arm is extended out to the injured figure. In the foreground, a white and black dog runs away from a figure in a brown robe with a green sash, who carries a small whip. He has a mustache and a red turban. Behind him is a youth with a light blue robe and red sash. He is clean shaven and wears a white and red turban. He gestures forward with his left arm and his right pointer finger is up to his lips. Both figures’ legs are obscured by a text block that is outline in gold. It contains a line of Persian written in black ink and nasta‘liq script. Mughal Style. Publication History 40 Years On...
