OPAQUE PIGMENT PAINTING OF A MUGHAL COURT SCENE WITH ATTENDANTS AND HORSES Divided into two distinct registers, this vibrant court scene depicts an audience before a seated nobleman beneath a large tiered canopy and tent structure. In the upper pavilion, the haloed principal figure sits atop a patterned carpet while a supplicant prostrates before him, surrounded by standing attendants holding chouris and courtiers gathered outside the enclosure. The lower register presents an active compound scene with courtiers conversing, servants carrying dishes, and figures tending to a caparisoned white horse, set within fine multi-ruled borders.
