Title
Akbar's mother travels by boat to Agra
Description
English: This painting from the official history of Akbar's reign depicts his mother, Mariam Makani, travelling to Agra by river. It is related to IS.2:3-1896 which shows several boats including that of the emperor, and was painted by Tulsi and Durga. The Akbarnama (Book of Akbar) was commissioned by the emperor Akbar as the official chronicle of his reign. It was written by his court historian and biographer Abu'l Fazl between 1590 and 1596 and is thought to have been illustrated between c. 1592 and 1594 by at least forty-nine different artists from Akbar's studio. After Akbar's death in 1605, the manuscript remained in the library of his son, Jahangir (r. 1605-1627) and later Shah Jahan (r. 1628-1658). The Victoria and Albert Museum purchased it in 1896 from Mrs. Frances Clarke, the widow of Major General Clarke, an official who had been the Commissioner in Oudh province between 1858 and 1862.
Date between 1590 and 1596 and between 1858 and 1862
