Measuring at an impressive size of 44.4x31.1 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution in the United States. The composition depicts Shah Jahan, a renowned emperor from India's history, engaging in a thrilling hunt surrounded by opulent landscapes and majestic wildlife. Executed with opaque watercolor and gold on paper, every intricate detail comes to life as if frozen in time. The artist skillfully captures Shah Jahan's regal presence astride his horse while leading an entourage of elephants and horses through lush terrain.
