About the Item
A Mughal painting of a ‘Lion at rest’
North India, early 19th century
?
Watercolour on paper, H. 46.5 x W. 68 cm
?The present painting is a large copy after the famous miniature painting (20.3 x 15.2 cm) in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York. This ‘Lion at rest’ is an early work by Ustad Mansur (act. 1590-16230), an important miniature painter of animals and birds in the period of Emperor Akbar’s (1565-1605) and Emperor Jahhangir’s (1605-1624) reign. Emperor Jahangir is known to have commissioned his favourite artist Mansur to realistically portray the flora and animal world throughout his Empire.
The lion hunt was a Royal Pursuit also known as Shikar. It’s a metaphor of imperial authority and demonstration of the martial prowess of the Emperor during periods of peace, equating the practice of the Royal Hunt to that of a battle.

These are embodied and drawn by comparing them to the meaning of Chinese characters. And the clouds depict the clouds hanging over the mountain, and the dragon depicts the climbing toward the mountain. Humorous paintings...Category
