| Description |
It was customary for the Mughal Miniature painters to make their colours from the indigenous materials. They extracted green from the green beetles. For getting yellow colour of some strength, they used the dried urine of cow. In the miniatures painted during the time of Mughal Empire and the Rajput kings have generally depicted the life style of the kings and the prices. The Mughal Miniature painters chose their subjects involving the courts and the kings. This painting, too, shows how a prince is involved in playing with his pet, the falcon. |
