Akbar With Lion and Calf – Mughal Fine Art Print(framed)

A posthumous portrait of the emperor Akbar (1542-1605) by Govardhan, a master of psychological portraiture. A lion and a calf rest in peace beneath his rule, a motif the court drew from European imagery, while cherubs above and a Netherlandish-style background add a cosmopolitan note. Look for the calf’s nervous sideways glance beside the lion’s visible teeth.
