Small birds in red, blue, yellow and brown fly across the ground above, and a ring of fused bird bodies encircles a gold rosette at the upper right, within a blue-gray floral border.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: an album leaf, A floral fantasy of animals and birds (Waq-waq), Mughal India, early 1600s.

The Cleveland Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMughal court painting began with the Persian masters Mir Sayyid Ali and Abd al-Samad, whom the emperor Humayun brought to India. Under Akbar (r. 1556–1605) an imperial workshop of Persian and Indian artists illustrated histories and translations, among them Babur's memoirs, rendered into Persian in 1589, and Hindu texts such as the Harivamsa. Jahangir favoured portraits and studies of birds, flowers and animals, and Shah Jahan's albums set paintings and calligraphy within decorated borders. Folios from these manuscripts and albums are held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
