Babur, the founder in 1526 of the Mughal dynasty in India, wrote extensive memoirs in his mother tongue of Turki. These writings were translated into Persian as the Baburnama during the reign of his grandson Akbar, and at least four illustrated veresions were subsequently prepared for him. This page, highlighting the Mughals' great love of nature, is from the earliest of these manuscripts. In such works it was the common practice for a master painter to design the miniature before turning it over to be painted by a more junior artist.
